Hilton Wood & Nickel Table Lamp - Taupe & White Shade

The Hilton is a 720mm table lamp built around a tripod frame of taupe-stained wood legs joined at polished nickel pivot points, topped with a 400mm diameter white pleated fabric shade. The three wood legs taper from approximately 30mm at the nickel collar down to 15mm where they meet the circular nickel base, forming a triangular footprint of roughly 300mm per side.

Designed for bedside tables, desks and hall consoles where a tall profile suits the surrounding furniture height, the lamp provides ambient rather than focused task light through the white fabric diffuser. The E27 socket accepts standard Edison screw bulbs up to 20W (sold separately), and the lamp is dimmable when paired with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch. The 400mm shade diameter makes the lamp suitable for tables 600-900mm wide without overwhelming the surface.

The polished nickel fittings include the central column running through the wood tripod, the base plate and the lamp holder collar beneath the shade. The nickel finish catches light and provides cool metallic accents against the mid-tone taupe wood, which shows the grain pattern through a semi-transparent stain. The white pleated fabric shade is stitched into vertical folds that diffuse light evenly in all directions while giving the shade a textured surface under daylight. At 3.1kg the lamp has sufficient weight to remain stable on most surfaces without needing additional securing.

What bulb does the Hilton take?

The lamp uses a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 20W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting in bedrooms or living spaces.

Is the Hilton dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable bulb and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no built-in dimmer control, so both the bulb specification and the wall or inline dimmer must support dimming.

What size table does the 400mm shade suit?

The 400mm shade diameter works on tables or consoles between 600-900mm wide without the shade overhanging the table edge. On narrower bedside tables (500mm or less) the shade may extend slightly beyond the table footprint but remains stable due to the central tripod base.

Can the wood frame be cleaned?

Wipe the taupe wood legs with a dry or barely-damp microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or using spray polishes, as these can affect the stain finish or leave residue on the grain. The polished nickel fittings can be wiped with a soft cloth and, if needed, a drop of metal polish to restore shine.
