Description

The Kara is a 555mm table lamp built around a hand-blown smoke glass sphere set on a polished nickel collar and topped with a 355mm-diameter faux silk drum shade. The blown glass base has a translucent grey tint that catches and diffuses light from the E27 bulb inside (sold separately), giving the lower half of the lamp a soft ambient glow when lit.

Designed for side tables, console tables and bedside use in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, the Kara provides both task and ambient lighting. The faux silk shade is hand-made in the UK with a textured weave that softens the upward and downward light throw, reducing glare while maintaining enough output for reading. The lamp accepts any standard E27 LED, halogen or filament bulb up to 60W, allowing you to choose the colour temperature and brightness that suits the room.

The smoke glass base has a subtle grey tint rather than a deep charcoal tone, which means it pairs well with both warm and cool interior palettes without dominating the colour scheme. The polished nickel collar and fittings provide a reflective accent that works with chrome, stainless steel and brushed metal fixtures elsewhere in the room. At 355mm diameter the lamp has a moderate footprint suitable for side tables from 400mm square upwards.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does the Kara take?

The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient lighting.

Does the glass base light up when the lamp is on?

Yes. The blown smoke glass is translucent, so when the E27 bulb inside is switched on, the glass base glows softly. The intensity depends on the bulb wattage and whether the bulb is clear or frosted.

What size table does it suit?

The 355mm diameter footprint works on side tables, console tables and bedside tables from 400mm square upwards. For smaller surfaces the lamp may overhang the edge visually, though it remains stable.

Is the shade fabric or faux silk?

The shade is faux silk with a textured weave, hand-made in the UK. It is not washable — dust gently with a soft brush or lint roller to maintain the finish.
