Description
The Sabi is a 450mm table lamp built around a cast resin elephant statuette finished in bronze patina, paired with a 250mm oval natural hessian shade. The elephant stands on a textured base representing ground or rock, with trunk raised and ears spread, supporting a single vertical stem that carries the shade fitting. The lamp takes one E27 bulb up to 40W, sold separately.
Designed for side tables, bedside positions and console tables in living rooms, bedrooms and hallway spaces, the Sabi provides ambient task light filtered through the hessian weave. The oval shade measures 250mm wide by 170mm deep and 180mm high, giving enough surface area to diffuse a warm-white LED bulb without glare. The 270mm-tall elephant base sits on a footprint of 170mm by 105mm, allowing the lamp to fit most bedside tables and narrow console depths.
The bronze patina finish on the resin casting mimics aged metal, with darker tones in the recesses of the elephant's skin folds and lighter highlights on the raised surfaces of the trunk, tusks and ears. The hessian shade shows the natural linen weave texture and carries a warm neutral tone that complements both the bronze base and timber furniture. The combination of the animal motif and textured natural materials suits traditional, colonial and safari-themed interiors, as well as eclectic schemes mixing organic and decorative elements.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Sabi 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 bulb between 6-8W and 2700K-3000K for bedside or ambient use.
Is the elephant base heavy enough to be stable?
Yes. The cast resin elephant on its textured base provides sufficient weight and a 170mm by 105mm footprint to remain stable on side tables and consoles. The lamp does not require additional weighting for normal use.
Can the shade be replaced?
The 250mm oval hessian shade is a standard laminated fabric shade with an internal carrier ring. Replacement shades of similar dimensions can be sourced if the original becomes damaged, though the exact hessian weave may differ between manufacturers.
How is the bronze patina finish maintained?
The resin casting requires minimal maintenance. Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which may damage the patina finish. The hessian shade can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment to remove dust.
