Sergio Dotted Stoneware Table Lamp - Brown

This table lamp is built around a stoneware base with real character: a round, flat disc set on a flared foot, rising to a slim neck that carries a tall drum shade in fabric. The base is brown, finished in a glossy reactive glaze and scattered with dark dots painted on by hand, loosely spaced across the disc and down onto the foot. At 55cm tall and 21cm across, it is a generous size for a table lamp, tall enough to hold its own on a sideboard or a wide bedside table without looking lost.

Its shape and pattern suit a room that welcomes a little playfulness: a living room side table, a bedroom, a study desk or a hallway console. When it is lit, the fabric shade glows softly and evenly, so it makes a good evening lamp beside a sofa or a reading chair. The 150cm cable gives you room to reach a socket that is not right beside the furniture, and the switch sits on the cord, so you turn it on without reaching up under the shade. It is rated IP20, which makes it a lamp for dry rooms. It suits anyone who wants a lamp that still reads as a piece of ceramics when it is switched off.

Stoneware, iron and polyester make up the lamp. A reactive glaze shifts in tone as it fires, which gives the surface its depth and gentle variation, and because the dots are handpainted, their spacing has the ease of a brush rather than a print. It takes an E27 bulb, the common large screw fitting, with a maximum of 40W, LED 5W or CFL 9W. It weighs 1.28KG, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, let the base carry the pattern: pair it with plain books or a bare wooden stool and keep busier prints elsewhere in the room.
