Description
This table lamp is built around a sculptural black stoneware base, finished in a reactive glaze and topped with a drum shade in a textured woven fabric. The base is stacked from distinct sections: a tapered collar beneath the shade, a flared disc, a full rounded ring, then a foot that widens towards the table. The glaze has a high gloss, so every curve catches the light, whether the lamp is lit or not. At 25cm across and 53cm tall, it is a comfortable size for a side table, a bedside or a sideboard.
We see it working best where people sit in the evening: beside an armchair, at the end of a sofa, on a bedside table or on a hallway console. The black base draws a strong outline against pale walls, while the fabric shade softens and spreads the light. It takes an E27 bulb up to 40W, an LED up to 5W or a CFL up to 9W, so a standard screw-in LED is all you need. The 150cm black cable carries its switch on the cord, which means you can turn it on without reaching under the shade. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms.
The lamp is made from stoneware, iron and polyester and weighs 1.78KG. Reactive glazes shift as they fire, so the depth and sheen of the glaze can vary slightly from one base to the next. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, let the black base be the darkest thing on the surface: pair it with a stone or oak side table, a short stack of books and a single plant, and leave space around it so its stacked profile reads clearly.
