Solara 1 Light Crystal Table Lamp - Gold

The Solara is a 40cm crystal table lamp built around a cylindrical arrangement of rectangular and square cut crystal blocks set against a gold metal framework on a circular base. The crystal elements are mounted in alternating rows within an open grid structure, creating gaps between each tier that allow light from the single E27 bulb (sold separately) to pass through and refract across multiple facets.

Designed for nightstands, console tables and sideboards where ambient light is needed without ceiling fittings, the Solara's 17cm diameter footprint fits comfortably on surfaces 40cm wide or larger. The compact height of 40cm keeps the lamp below typical eye-level when seated, making it suitable for placement beside armchairs or at the end of a sofa without obstructing sightlines. The open framework means the lamp doesn't project a harsh single pool of light — instead, the crystal facets scatter the output across surrounding walls and surfaces.

The gold finish on the metal frame provides a warm metallic accent that pairs with brass hardware, warm-toned timber furniture and neutral upholstery in both contemporary and transitional schemes. Each crystal block is backed with mirror, which doubles the apparent depth of the crystal elements and increases the amount of reflected light when the lamp is switched on. The 1.8kg weight gives the fitting enough mass to sit securely on polished surfaces without sliding when the cable is moved.

What bulb does it take?

The Solara takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. A warm-white LED between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K is typical for bedside or ambient use. The open crystal structure means the bulb is partially visible, so a decorative filament or globe-style bulb can enhance the look.

Is it suitable for a nightstand?

Yes. The 17cm diameter base fits most nightstands 40cm wide or larger, and the 40cm height keeps the light source below typical eye-level when seated or lying in bed. The refracted light through the crystal is softer than a direct bare bulb, making it comfortable for evening reading.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off and allow the bulb to cool. Wipe each crystal block with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or smudges, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water can be used on the crystal, avoiding the gold metal frame. Do not use chemical sprays or abrasive cleaners.
