Description
Sigma is a slim upright detail in satin black, narrow enough to read as a drawn line against the side of a shade rather than an added mass. The sheen is low, closer to soft graphite than gloss, so it keeps its edge under lamplight without throwing a hard highlight back into the room. It stands 17cm and is intended for shades of that same height, following the outer profile from top to bottom. Projection is slight and the piece weighs next to nothing. The shade is not included: the photographs show the clip on a plain drum; the lamp shades are sold separately.
It is non-electric and takes no lamp of its own, so the light around it is whatever the host fitting provides, whether that is a table lamp on a hall console or a bedside light. We reach for these where a plain drum shade wants a little punctuation, and satin black is the one we choose when the metalwork already in the room runs dark. Used singly it works as a quiet vertical accent; spaced evenly around a shade it gives a flat surface some rhythm. It suits anyone building a set of lamps that need to look related without being identical.
The finish is a satin black carried evenly across the visible face, and it asks very little of you: an occasional dry duster is enough, and it is worth keeping polishes and solvent cleaners away, since they dull a satin surface far faster than dust ever will. It carries a one year warranty. At this height we stock five finishes, satin black alongside antique brass, chrome, satin nickel and bronze, and the same detail is made for shorter and taller shades if you are matching pieces across a room. Lamps and shades themselves are bought separately.

Frequently Asked
What size of shade is this made for?
It is sized for shades 17cm tall. The piece itself measures 170mm high by 50mm wide, with a projection of 10mm.
Does it hold a lamp or need wiring?
No. It is a non-electric decorative piece, so it carries no socket and no lamp. Any light comes from the fitting the clip belongs to.
How should I clean the satin black finish?
A soft dry cloth run over it now and again is all it needs. Avoid metal polish, abrasive pads and solvent sprays, which take the evenness off a satin surface.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms rather than anywhere exposed to splashing or steam.
Can I get the same piece in another finish or height?
Yes. At 17cm we also offer antique brass, chrome, satin nickel and bronze, and the same design is made in 15cm and 22cm versions.
