Description
The Lena is a 740mm table lamp built around a mouth-blown plum glass base with a spiral-twist surface pattern, set on a polished nickel collar and topped with a 460mm off-white fabric shade. The lamp uses a Dual-Lit system with a 3-way switch that controls two independent light sources: a 7W LED GU10 inside the glass base casting light through the plum-coloured glass, and a separate E27 bulb socket under the shade for downward task light.
Designed for side tables, consoles and bedside positions where ambient and task lighting both matter, the Lena allows either light source to be used alone or both together. The base-only setting creates a warm ambient glow through the coloured glass without directing light downward, suitable for evening ambience in living rooms or bedrooms. The shade-only setting provides directed light for reading or close work. Using both together gives full illumination across the table surface and surrounding area.
The plum glass base is hand-blown in the UK, so each piece shows slight variation in the intensity and distribution of the spiral twist pattern. The 247mm base diameter and substantial glass volume give the lamp stability on narrow console tables and bedside surfaces without needing additional weight. The off-white shade is a satin-finish fabric with a matt silver laminate lining that reflects light downward while preventing the bulb from showing through the fabric when lit.
The polished nickel metalwork includes the base collar, the vertical rod connecting base to shade, and the shade harp. The finish provides a neutral metallic accent that pairs with both warm and cool-toned interiors without competing with the plum glass for visual attention. The lamp is handcrafted and assembled in the UK by Elstead Lighting.

Frequently Asked
How does the Dual-Lit system work?
A 3-way rotary switch controls two independent light sources. Position 1 lights only the 7W LED inside the glass base. Position 2 lights only the E27 bulb under the shade. Position 3 lights both together. This allows you to use the lamp as ambient mood lighting, task lighting, or both.
What bulb does the shade socket take?
The shade socket is E27 (Edison screw) and accepts bulbs up to 60W. The lamp ships with a 7W LED GU10 for the base, but the E27 bulb for the shade is sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K.
Does the plum glass vary between lamps?
Yes. Each base is mouth-blown by hand in the UK, so the spiral-twist pattern and the depth of the plum colour vary slightly between individual pieces. This is a characteristic of the handmade process, not a defect.
Is the shade removable for bulb replacement?
Yes. The fabric shade lifts off the harp to access the E27 bulb socket underneath. The GU10 LED inside the glass base is accessed by unscrewing the polished nickel collar at the top of the base.
