Description
The Isla is a 640mm table lamp built around a white ceramic double-gourd base with a purple fabric tapered drum shade and aged brass metal fittings. The ceramic base uses a traditional double-gourd profile — a narrow neck between two bulbous sections — finished in a high-gloss white glaze that reflects ambient room light. The shade is a laminated fabric drum, 360mm in diameter at the base, tapering to a narrower top, in a deep purple tone.
Designed for bedside tables, console tables in hallways, and side tables in living rooms, the Isla provides both task lighting when reading and ambient background light when the room is in use. The purple shade diffuses the light from the E27 bulb inside, casting a warm glow with a slight purple tint that softens the overall illumination. The lamp accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately), giving control over colour temperature and brightness.
The aged brass fittings at the neck and top of the base add a warm metallic accent that bridges the white ceramic and purple fabric visually, preventing the two materials from sitting too starkly against each other. The 360mm footprint suits typical bedside and console table dimensions without overhanging smaller surfaces. The ceramic construction gives the lamp a stable centre of gravity, reducing the risk of tipping if the cable is pulled or the surface is bumped.
The purple shade is a strong colour choice that works best in rooms with neutral wall tones (whites, greys, soft beiges) where the lamp can act as a colour accent without competing with other bold hues. The white ceramic base keeps the lamp versatile enough to be moved between rooms if decorating schemes change.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Isla take?
The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED (2700K-3000K) for bedside use, giving sufficient reading light without excessive brightness.
Does the purple shade affect the light colour?
Yes. The purple fabric diffuses the bulb light with a slight purple tint, warming and softening the overall output. This creates ambient mood lighting rather than bright white task light. For neutral light, choose a lamp with a white or cream shade instead.
Is the ceramic base heavy enough to stay stable?
Yes. The double-gourd ceramic construction gives the lamp a low centre of gravity, making it stable on flat surfaces. The 360mm footprint provides a secure base that resists tipping from minor cable tugs or surface bumps.
Can the shade be replaced?
The shade is a standard tapered drum fitting. If the fabric becomes damaged or you wish to change the colour, replacement shades with compatible fittings are available from lamp shade suppliers. Measure the top and bottom diameters and the shade height before ordering a replacement.
