Description
The Rufus is a table lamp built around a resin dog sculpture base finished in bronze patina, topped with a 310mm oval natural hessian shade. The dog figure stands on a textured oval plinth, with the lamp stem rising from behind the sculpture to support the shade. The resin casting captures the fur texture and musculature of the dog, while the bronze patina finish gives depth to the relief detail and a weathered metallic appearance.
Designed for living rooms, bedrooms, studies and hallway console tables, the Rufus works as both functional lighting and decorative sculpture. The 480mm overall height suits side tables next to sofas or armchairs, and the 310mm x 210mm oval shade footprint keeps the lamp proportionate to standard console and bedside table depths. The E27 socket takes any standard bulb up to 40W, with most users pairing the lamp with a warm-white LED filament or standard bulb to complement the bronze tones.
The natural hessian shade is a laminated fabric stretched over a metal frame, with a visible linen weave that diffuses light evenly without creating harsh shadows. The neutral beige-cream tone of the hessian pairs with the bronze patina without competing visually, and suits both traditional and contemporary interiors that lean towards warm, natural material palettes. The resin base weighs approximately 1.5kg, giving the lamp stability on surfaces without requiring a weighted plinth.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Rufus take?
The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-6W and 2700K for ambient lighting that complements the bronze patina finish.
What is the base made from?
The dog sculpture and plinth are cast resin finished in a bronze patina. Resin allows for fine detail capture in the fur texture and musculature, while the patina finish gives the appearance of aged bronze metalwork.
Can the shade be replaced?
Yes. The 310mm x 210mm oval hessian shade sits on a standard lamp harp and can be replaced with any shade of matching dimensions and harp fitting. The existing shade is laminated natural hessian over a metal frame.
Is the lamp suitable for a bedside table?
The 480mm overall height and 310mm shade width suit standard bedside tables in rooms with typical furniture scale. The lamp provides ambient rather than focused task light, so it works well for bedroom lighting where a softer glow is preferred over bright reading light.
