Description
A table lamp, 48cm wide, in cream. At 48cm wide it is a little narrower than a standard interior door.
A natural, unpainted finish shows the material doing its own work — the grain, the weave or the fibre is the decoration, and no two pieces are identical because no two lengths of the raw material are. Glazed ceramic is fired hard enough to wipe clean and heavy enough to stay where it is put. It will chip rather than dent if it goes over, so it belongs where it is not being knocked. It comes with its shade, so there is no second purchase to make it usable.
E27 lampholder, 1 of them up to 10-12W LED, and no bulb in the box. Because it is E27, bulbs are stocked everywhere and you are never tied to one supplier. It is not dimmable, which means you choose the warmth at the bulb rather than at the switch: a 2700K bulb will do more here than a dimmer would. The cable is black, with an in-line switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling.
The base is felted, which matters if it is going on a polished or waxed surface. It weighs 7.06kg, which is enough to stay put when the flex is tugged. A GLS shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
A shade does two jobs at once and they pull against each other: it hides the bulb from your eye, and it decides how much light escapes sideways rather than up and down. A dense fabric does the first well and the second hardly at all.
