Lena 2 Light Table Lamp Large Plum Glass - Heather Shade

The Lena is a 740mm table lamp built around a teardrop-shaped mouth-blown glass base in plum, twisted with diagonal ribs that catch and refract light when the base is illuminated. Polished nickel fittings at the top and base of the glass anchor a 460mm heather satin fabric shade, hand-crafted in the UK with a matt silver laminate lining that reflects light downward and prevents hot spots on the fabric.

The lamp offers dual-light operation via a 3-way switch: the glass base houses a 7W LED GU10 at 3000K that illuminates the plum glass from inside, while the shade holds a separate E27 socket rated to 60W (bulb sold separately). You can run the base light alone for ambient glow, the shade alone for task lighting, or both together for a combined effect. This flexibility suits living rooms where ambient and reading light are both needed, bedrooms where softer evening light is preferred, or hallways where the lit glass base adds decorative presence.

The mouth-blown glass means each Lena base carries slight variation in wall thickness and rib depth — the plum tone shifts from deeper purple in thicker sections to lighter heather-pink where the glass is thinner. The 247mm base diameter gives stability on side tables and console surfaces without requiring a weighted foot. The heather shade at 460mm diameter tapers from 380mm at the top to 460mm at the bottom, directing light down onto a desk or reading surface while the silver lining prevents upward spill onto ceilings.

How does the 3-way switch work?

The switch controls three states: base light only (the 7W GU10 inside the plum glass), shade light only (the E27 socket above), or both lights together. This lets you choose ambient glow from the glass, task light from the shade, or a combination of both depending on the time of day and room use.

What bulb does the shade take?

The shade socket is E27 (Edison screw) rated to 60W maximum. An E27 bulb is not included — the lamp ships with the 7W 3000K GU10 for the base only. Most users pair the shade with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K.

Does the glass base vary between lamps?

Yes. The plum glass is mouth-blown, so wall thickness, rib depth and tonal variation differ between individual pieces. Thicker sections appear deeper purple, while thinner areas present lighter heather-pink tones. This is a feature of the hand-blown process.

What surface size is needed?

The 247mm base diameter requires a stable surface at least 300mm square. The lamp works on bedside tables, console tables, side tables next to sofas, and desk corners where the 460mm shade diameter does not obstruct the workspace.
