Kromo Looped Frame 1 Light Table Lamp - Polished Chrome

The Kromo is a 270mm tall table lamp built around a carved optical glass block held within a looped polished chrome frame. The glass itself is cut with multiple facets that refract and disperse light from a single G9 bulb positioned inside the block, creating internal reflections and subtle spectral highlights across the surfaces. The chrome loop rises vertically from a circular base, threading through the glass at both the top and base of the block.

Designed as an accent piece rather than primary task lighting, the Kromo suits bedside tables, console tables in hallways, side tables in living rooms, and office desks where decorative lighting adds visual interest without needing high lumen output. The 120mm diameter footprint and 1.5kg weight give the lamp stability on most surfaces without requiring large clearance zones. The polished chrome finish pairs with contemporary, modern and minimalist interiors, especially those using glass, metal and neutral colour palettes.

The optical glass block is the core feature, when the G9 bulb is lit, the faceted surfaces act as internal prisms, scattering light in multiple directions and creating patterns on nearby walls and surfaces. The effect varies depending on the bulb colour temperature and brightness, with warm-white LEDs producing softer reflections and cool-white creating sharper highlights. The chrome loop frame supports the glass without obscuring it, allowing the block to appear almost suspended within the structure.

The lamp is dimmable when paired with a suitable G9 dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch on the mains circuit. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 2-4W G9 LED in 2700K-3000K for ambient bedside or accent use.

What bulb does it take?

The Kromo takes a single G9 bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 2-4W G9 LED in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient bedside or accent use. The lamp accepts higher wattage halogen G9 bulbs, but LED is recommended for lower heat output and energy consumption.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable G9 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the mains circuit. Not all G9 LED bulbs are dimmable. Check the bulb specification before purchasing if dimming is required.

How does the optical glass create the light effect?

The glass block is cut with multiple facets that act as internal prisms. When the G9 bulb inside is lit, light refracts through these facets in different directions, creating reflections, highlights and subtle spectral colours on the glass surfaces and nearby walls. The effect is more pronounced with brighter bulbs and changes depending on the colour temperature used.

Is it heavy enough to be stable on a bedside table?

Yes. At 1.5kg and with a 120mm circular base, the Kromo sits stably on most bedside tables, console tables and desks without tipping. The weight is distributed between the chrome base and the glass block itself.
