Description
Rio is a simple modern table lamp in blue: a slim iron stem rises from a flat disc base and hooks over at the top, and from that hook hangs a small dome shade that points its light straight down. It stands 45cm tall on a 19cm base, and the dome shade is 12cm across and 11cm deep, so it takes very little room on a desk or bedside table. Inside the shade is a single GX53 lamp holder, and it runs on 220-240V mains.
We see this articulated table lamp first on a desk or in a home office, where the downward dome puts its light onto the work in front of you. It works just as well on a bedside table, a sideboard, a hall console or a bookshelf, and its clean lines suit modern and Scandinavian rooms. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only. The 2m cable gives a good reach to the nearest socket, and the lamp works on a simple on-off switch rather than a dimmer, so it is either on or off.
The structure is iron, finished in blue all over, from the base and stem to the dome shade, and the cable is textile. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, the blue looks crisp against white walls or pale oak and sits happily beside natural wood, linen and books. Pair two on matching bedside tables for a calm, balanced look, or let a single lamp bring one bright note of colour to a neutral desk or a quiet corner of a living room.
