Kromo 1 Light Crystal Glass Table Lamp - Antique Brass

The Kromo is a compact table lamp built around a single faceted optical glass shade shaped into a curved rectangular block, held within a straight antique brass frame on a circular base. The glass is cut with multiple flat facets that refract light into patterns across surrounding surfaces when the lamp is lit. A single G9 bulb sits inside the glass block, dispersing light through the facets rather than through a traditional fabric or alabaster diffuser.

Designed for bedside tables, desks, sideboards and console tables where decorative accent lighting is needed within a small footprint, the Kromo measures 280mm tall with a 140mm-wide glass block. The straight vertical frame keeps the lamp stable on narrow surfaces without the overhang of a traditional shade, and the 1.4kg weight prevents tipping when cables are moved. The antique brass finish warms the light cast through the glass, giving a softer tone than the polished chrome variant available elsewhere in the Kromo collection.

The faceted optical glass creates prism-like colour flashes when viewed at certain angles under daylight or when the bulb is switched on, an effect that varies depending on the G9 bulb chosen. Clear halogen or warm-white LED bulbs emphasise the refractive quality of the glass, while frosted or diffused bulbs reduce the sharpness of the facets and produce a gentler glow. The lamp is dimmable when paired with a suitable dimmable G9 bulb and compatible dimmer switch.

What bulb does the Kromo take?

The lamp uses a single G9 capsule bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 3-5W LED G9 in warm white (2700K-3000K) for general use. Halogen G9 bulbs up to the rated wattage are also compatible, though they run hotter and use more energy than LED equivalents.

Is the Kromo dimmable?

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable G9 bulb and connected to a compatible dimmer switch. Non-dimmable LED bulbs will flicker or fail to dim correctly, so check the bulb packaging before pairing with a dimmer.

How does the faceted glass affect the light?

The multi-faceted optical glass refracts the bulb's light into patterns and occasional colour flashes on nearby walls and surfaces. The effect is most visible with clear or transparent LED/halogen bulbs. Frosted or diffused G9 bulbs reduce the sharpness of the refraction and produce a softer, more even glow.

What's the difference between the antique brass and polished chrome versions?

The antique brass finish gives a warmer, aged metallic tone that softens the light cast through the glass. The polished chrome version provides a cooler, more reflective finish that pairs with contemporary and monochrome interiors. Both use the same faceted glass block and straight frame design.
