Description
The Selmarne Fabric Table Lamp is a calm, well-proportioned table lamp: a tall, gently tapered black cotton shade on a slim satin nickel stem and a flat rectangular base. It stands 46cm tall and 22.5cm across, a comfortable size for a bedside or side table without crowding it. The frame is iron with a satin nickel finish, a soft grey metal sheen rather than a mirror shine, and it sets off the deep black of the fabric shade. Light comes from a single E27 bulb, which is not included, so you will need to buy one. The shade is open at the top and bottom, so the light leaves there while the black cotton keeps the glow quiet and contained.
We see it first beside the bed, where a dark shade keeps the light low and restful at the end of the day. It sits just as happily on a side table in a sitting room, a console in a hallway or a desk in a study, anywhere a soft point of light is welcome. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only, and it comes with a UK plug, ready for an ordinary socket. It is not dimmable, so it is a straightforward on and off lamp rather than one for a dimmer. The clean lines suit modern and pared-back rooms.
The construction is simple and honest: an iron stem and base in satin nickel, topped by a shade of black cotton fabric. The flat rectangular base gives it a neat, architectural footprint, and the slim stem keeps the eye on the shade. For styling, a matching pair either side of a bed looks balanced and orderly, and the black and nickel pairing sits well against warm timber or pale painted walls.
