Description
A table lamp, 30cm wide, in white. At 30cm wide it is about the width of a laptop.
A cool colour recedes: it makes a piece read as further away and a room as larger, which is why cool tones suit small spaces better than their reputation for coldness suggests. The texture is in the surface rather than printed on it, so it catches light at the ridges and shades in the hollows. A flat finish reads as one colour from any distance; a textured one reads as several. The shade is included rather than sold alongside, which is worth checking against anything cheaper.
Wiring is for 1 E27 lamp up to 10-12W LED, supplied separately. E27 is the standard screw fitting, so a replacement is a supermarket purchase rather than a specialist one. 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 1.92kg, 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.
Two shades of the same size can light a room completely differently depending on how open the top and bottom are. A narrow top pushes light down into a pool; a wide one lets it wash the ceiling as well. A pair reads as deliberate rather than repetitive, and at this width two will sit either side of a bed without crowding the table.

Frequently Asked
Does this table lamp come with a shade?
Yes. The shade is included, so there is nothing further to buy to use it.
What bulb does it take?
1 E27 screw-fit bulb, up to 10-12W LED. Bulbs are not included. It is not dimmable, so choose the colour temperature at the bulb: 2700K is the warm end.
Will it mark a polished surface?
No. The base is felted, so it is safe on a waxed or polished top.
How heavy is it?
1.92kg.
What is it made of?
Mango, linen and PVC. The full composition is in the specification table.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Mango varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
