Milo Table Lamp White Ceramic Base - Yellow Geometric Shade Polished Nickel

The Milo is a white ceramic table lamp with a teardrop-shaped base, a 355mm geometric patterned drum shade in yellow and white, and polished nickel metalwork at the neck and base ring. The lamp takes a single E27 bulb (sold separately) housed inside the shade, diffusing light through the fabric pattern.

Designed for bedside tables, console tables and side tables in living rooms and bedrooms, the Milo sits at approximately 650mm tall from base to shade top, providing enough height to read by when positioned next to a chair or bed. The white ceramic body reflects ambient room light during the day while the yellow geometric shade becomes the focal point when the lamp is switched on in the evening. The polished nickel finish on the hardware coordinates with chrome door handles, mirror frames and similar room fixtures.

The ceramic base presents as high-gloss white with a smooth, reflective finish that contrasts with the fabric texture of the shade. The shade pattern features concentric geometric lines in yellow against a white ground, creating a wood-grain-like effect that diffuses light softly rather than casting hard shadows. The polished nickel ring at the base of the shade and the matching neck fitting provide visual separation between the shade and body, preventing the lamp from reading as a single mass.

The E27 socket accepts standard LED, halogen or filament bulbs, allowing control over colour temperature and brightness. For bedside use most buyers pair this with a warm-white LED between 6-10W; for decorative use in a living room a slightly brighter 12-15W equivalent works well. The lamp's footprint is approximately 180mm diameter at the base, keeping it stable on most bedside table surfaces without dominating the available space.

What bulb does the Milo take?

The lamp uses a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. For bedside use a warm-white LED around 6-10W and 2700K-3000K provides comfortable reading light without glare.

What are the dimensions?

The lamp stands approximately 650mm tall from the base to the top of the shade. The shade itself is 355mm in diameter. The ceramic base has a footprint of roughly 180mm diameter, making it suitable for most bedside and console tables.

Is the shade pattern printed or woven?

The geometric pattern appears to be laminated or printed onto the fabric drum shade rather than woven. This gives a consistent, repeating pattern across the entire shade circumference.

Can the shade be cleaned?

Yes. Dust the shade regularly with a soft brush or lint roller. For marks, a barely-damp microfibre cloth can be used gently on the fabric surface, but avoid soaking the material or using sprays directly on the shade.
