Lena 2 Light Blue Glass Table Lamp - Off-White Shade

The Lena is a two-light table lamp built around a mouth-blown blue glass base with a spiral twist cut into the surface, topped with a polished nickel collar and an off-white satin fabric shade. The base houses one E27 lamp socket rated to 60W, while a second fitting illuminates the shade independently. A 3-way switch on the lamp allows the user to light the shade alone, the base alone, or both together.

Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and reading corners where both task and ambient lighting are needed, the dual-lamp configuration provides functional flexibility. Lighting the shade alone gives diffused downward task light suitable for reading or close work. Lighting the base alone turns the blue glass into an ambient decorative glow. Lighting both together provides combined ambient and task illumination. The spiral twist in the glass refracts light across the surface when the base lamp is switched on, creating depth and movement.

The off-white satin shade measures 460mm across the bottom and is lined with matt silver laminate, which reflects light back through the fabric for a softer, more diffused output than an unlined shade. The shade is hand-made in the UK. The glass base stands 440mm tall before the shade is fitted, with a 247mm footprint at the bottom, giving the lamp a total height of 740mm including the shade. The polished nickel collar at the join between glass and shade provides a clean visual break between the organic flowing glass and the structured fabric cone.

How does the 3-way switch work?

The switch has three positions: shade only, base only, or both together. This allows the lamp to be used as task lighting (shade), ambient decorative lighting (base glass glow), or combined illumination depending on the time of day and lighting need in the room.

What bulbs does it take?

The lamp includes one 7W LED GU10 bulb for the base illumination. The shade socket takes a standard E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately). Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W for task reading light.

Is the glass hand-blown?

Yes. The blue glass base is mouth-blown with the spiral twist cut into the surface during manufacture. This means each base has slight variations in the exact positioning and depth of the twist pattern, as well as minor tonal differences in the blue glass depending on the batch.

What surface is needed to support the lamp?

The 247mm diameter glass base needs a stable surface such as a bedside table, side table or console. The total weight of the lamp with shade and glass base is substantial enough that it will not tip easily on a level surface, but the glass base should not overhang the edge of the table.
