Description
The Rio is a mushroom table lamp: a rounded dome shade on a slim, straight stem, finished all over in a warm terracotta. It stands 50cm tall. The 16cm shade is 15cm high and sits above a flat, round 19cm base that keeps the lamp steady on a table, sideboard or bedside cabinet. It has two G9 lamp holders, so it takes two small G9 lamps rather than a single larger bulb, and it works on a simple on-off switch, so there is no dimmer to match.
Its modern, Scandinavian lines and narrow footprint make it an easy fit wherever surface space is tight: a bedside table, a desk in a study, a hallway console or a bookshelf in the living room. A pair either side of a bed, or at each end of a sofa table, gives a matching, balanced look. The 2m textile cable gives you a useful reach to the nearest socket, and the lamp runs on 220-240V mains. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry rooms indoors only.
The structure is made of iron with a smooth terracotta finish, a warm, earthy colour that softens the clean geometry of the dome and stem. The textile cable is a neat detail, looking tidier than plain plastic where it trails across a table or down the back of a cabinet. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, the terracotta sits happily with pale oak, rattan, linen and cream or sage walls, and it brings a little warmth to a white or grey room; choose warm white G9 lamps to keep the glow soft and true to the finish.
