Description
The Kando M/40 is a table lamp shaped like a small lantern: a cylindrical shade of upright sand-coloured strands sits inside a three-post frame of teak wood, capped with a dark brown disc and braced by brown cross pieces at the top and the base. It stands 40cm tall and 22.5cm across, a compact size for a side table, a shelf or a bedside. The light comes from an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to buy or change, and it gives 167 lumens: a soft, low glow that filters through the gaps in the shade rather than a bright reading light. It is made from aluminium, teak wood, ribbon and polycarbonate, with a brown structure and a sand shade.
We would put the Kando M/40 in a living room or a bedroom, where a gentle light matters more than a bright one. On a side table beside a sofa it gives an evening corner a calm glow, and on a bedside table it is soft enough to leave on while you wind down. The open frame looks finished from every angle, so it sits as happily in the middle of a console as it does against a wall. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry rooms indoors only.
The construction is simple and honest: teak posts, brown cross pieces joining them at the top and the base, and a shade whose strands are bound around a rim at each end so they hold their line. The brown and sand finishes sit well with natural wood, linen and warm stone tones in a room. It runs on mains power at 230V and is a Class II fitting, meaning it is double insulated. With the LED built in and no bulb to source, it is ready to light as soon as it is in place.
