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

The Lena is a 605mm table lamp built around a mouth-blown smoke-tinted glass base with a twisted, faceted profile that refracts light through its vertical ridges. The glass sits on a polished nickel plinth and connects to a matching polished nickel fitment that holds a 350mm diameter off-white satin shade, handmade in the UK with a matt silver laminate lining. Two E27 bulb sockets provide the light source, with one inside the glass base and one beneath the shade.

A three-position rotary switch on the cable allows the lamp to operate in dual-lit mode: base only, shade only, or both together. Base-only mode turns the glass into a sculptural light source and casts refracted patterns onto nearby surfaces, while shade-only mode provides directed task light for reading. Full dual-lit mode combines both for general ambient lighting. The off-white shade diffuses light evenly downwards and outwards, while the silver lining increases efficiency by reflecting light back through the fabric rather than absorbing it into the shade structure.

The 335mm glass base height and 210mm diameter footprint suit bedside tables, console tables and sideboards where the lamp needs to clear typical surface items without dominating the furniture. The smoke tint in the glass gives a cooler, greyer tone compared to clear or amber glass, pairing well with polished chrome, brushed nickel and cool-toned contemporary schemes. The twisted profile of the glass means each lamp catches light differently depending on viewing angle and position relative to windows or other light sources.

How does the dual-lit switching work?

The rotary switch on the cable has three positions: base only (illuminates the glass), shade only (task light downwards), or both together. This allows you to choose between decorative accent lighting, directed reading light, or full ambient output depending on the time of day or activity.

What bulbs does it take?

The lamp uses two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, one inside the glass base and one beneath the shade. Maximum 60W per socket. The specification notes a 7W LED GU10 is included, but the sockets are E27 — confirm bulb type on delivery. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs at 2700K-3000K.

Is the shade replaceable?

Yes. The shade is a standard drum shade that sits on a duplex ring fitting. Replacement shades in different fabrics or colours can be fitted if the dimensions match (350mm diameter, 230mm height, duplex ring).

What surface does the lamp suit?

The 210mm base diameter and 605mm overall height work on bedside tables, console tables and sideboards. The lamp needs approximately 400mm of clear space above the surface to accommodate the shade, so avoid low shelves or recessed alcoves with overhead constraints.
