Description
The Velar is a 250mm-tall sculpted table lamp built from three distinct materials: a carved purple-red marble base, a brushed brass collar, and an opal glass globe. The marble is turned into a stack of rounded ribs that give the base a tactile, contoured profile, and the natural veining runs through the stone in white and pale grey streaks. A single G9 lamp socket sits inside the glass globe.
At 150mm in diameter and 250mm tall, the Velar suits side tables, console tables, bedside tables and shelf displays where a small sculptural light is needed rather than a full-size reading lamp. The opal glass diffuses the G9 source into a soft, even glow, making the lamp appropriate as bedside ambient light or as a warm accent in a hallway, dressing room or living-room corner. The compact footprint means it works well in pairs flanking a sofa or bed.
The contrast between the three materials is the defining feature: the marble carries weight and natural pattern, the brass collar gives a warm metallic transition between stone and glass, and the opal globe softens the upper half of the silhouette. Each block of marble is cut from natural stone, so the depth of the purple-red tone and the pattern of the white veining vary between individual pieces. The brass base plate underneath the marble provides a stable seat on a flat surface.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Velar take?
The Velar uses a single G9 capsule bulb, which sits inside the opal glass globe. Bulbs are sold separately. A 2700K-3000K warm-white LED G9 of 3-4W is a sensible match for bedside or accent use.
Does the marble vary between pieces?
Yes. The base is cut from natural marble, so the depth of the purple-red tone and the white and grey veining will differ between individual lamps. This is a feature of the natural stone, not a defect.
How big is it and where does it suit?
The lamp is 250mm tall and 150mm in diameter, which is compact for a table lamp. It suits bedside tables, console tables, shelf displays and side tables, and works particularly well in pairs flanking a bed or sofa.
How is the marble cleaned?
Wipe the marble with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water, then dry the surface. Avoid household sprays, polishes or chemical cleaners, as marble is porous and can be marked by acidic or abrasive products.
