Paddy Mushroom Glass Table Lamp - Green

This green glass table lamp has a shape you notice at once: a rounded, domed shade sitting on a short, tapered stem, like a small mushroom. It is 20cm across and 26.5cm tall, a compact size that sits comfortably on a side table, a bookshelf or the end of a sideboard without crowding it. The composition is 85% glass and 15% iron, and the glass has a glossy finish that catches the daylight when the lamp is off. Switched on, the light spreads through the whole shade, so the lamp glows evenly rather than throwing a hard beam.

We see it most at home in a living room, bedroom or study, wherever you want a soft pool of light in the evening rather than a bright overhead one. It takes an E14 bulb, up to LED 3W or CFL 7W, so this is a lamp for background and mood light, not for close reading. Put it on a bedside table for winding down, on a hall console to greet you when you come home, or on the corner of a desk beside a brighter task lamp. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.

The bulb is not included, so you will need an E14 bulb within that maximum. The lamp has a 180cm cable with a switch on the cord, so you can turn it on and off without reaching round behind the shade, and the length gives you some freedom over where it sits relative to the socket. It weighs 0.68KG, light enough to move from one room to another. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, and the styling props shown are not included. For styling, the green glass looks its best against plain walls and natural wood, and a pair at either end of a sideboard gives a room a balanced, considered look.
