Gin 1 Light Table Lamp - Black & Smoked Glass

The Gin is a 220mm table lamp built around a matt black cylindrical base supporting a smoked glass disc shade. A single GU10 bulb sits upward inside the shade, casting light through the tinted glass to create a warm ambient glow with reduced glare. The lamp stands 250mm tall with a weighted 2.7kg black metal base that provides stability on bedside tables, console tables and desk surfaces.

Designed for bedrooms, living rooms and home offices where accent lighting is needed without ceiling wiring, the Gin pairs well with contemporary, industrial and mid-century interiors that use black as a grounding accent. The smoked glass diffuses direct light from the bulb while preserving enough transparency to show the bulb's form, giving the lamp a layered visual depth when lit. The GU10 socket accepts any standard mains-voltage GU10 bulb up to the rated maximum, allowing you to choose the colour temperature and brightness that suits the space.

The matt black finish on the base and column is low-sheen and resists fingerprints better than high-gloss alternatives. The smoked glass shade is a single machined disc that sits within a polished chrome or stainless-steel rim (visible in the upper band of the shade), providing a subtle metallic accent against the black. When paired with a dimmable GU10 LED and a trailing edge dimmer, the lamp transitions from soft ambient light at 10-20% for evening use to functional task light at full output.

What bulb does it take?

The Gin takes a single GU10 mains-voltage bulb, sold separately. Most users pair it with a 4-6W LED GU10 in warm white (2700K-3000K) for bedside or living room use.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable GU10 bulb and a compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch. The lamp itself does not include dimming controls. Dimming is managed via the mains circuit or a plug-in dimmer module.

How does the smoked glass affect the light output?

The smoked glass reduces direct glare from the bulb and creates a softer, warmer glow. The tint absorbs some light, so a brighter bulb (5-6W LED) may be needed if the lamp is used for reading rather than ambient lighting.

Can multiple Gin lamps be used together?

Yes. The Gin range includes pendant and table variants in coordinated finishes. Using multiple pieces creates a cohesive look across a room or open-plan space without appearing overly matched.
