Description
Rea is a mushroom table lamp with a wide matt black dome shade on a slim stem, standing on a round base of dark marble. The aluminium dome is 38cm across and 10cm high, and beneath it sit three E27 lamp holders. E27 is the standard large screw cap, which keeps replacing a lamp simple. The structure is brass, the marble base is 25cm across, and the whole lamp stands 33cm tall, so it has a low, broad profile rather than a tall, narrow one. The dark marble carries fine white veining, and against the matt black shade it makes a quiet, considered pairing of finishes.
At 33cm tall, Rea suits a side table beside a sofa or armchair, a bedside table, a console or a sideboard, anywhere you want a lamp that sits low and wide rather than reaching up. Its clean lines belong in a modern room and sit comfortably with mid-century modern furniture: tapered legs, dark timber, leather and plain painted walls. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms such as a living room, bedroom, study or hallway. The 2m textile cable gives you some freedom in where it stands in relation to a socket, and it has simple on-off control.
We like the honesty of the materials here: a brass structure, an aluminium shade, a marble base and a textile cable. It runs on 220-240V mains and carries a 3 year guarantee. The matt black shade has no shine to pick up reflections, so it stays calm in a room lit by daylight or other lamps. As a styling note, give the marble room to show: keep the tabletop around the base fairly clear, and set the lamp near dark wood or black metal so the white veining becomes the detail that catches the eye.
