What to look for in table lamps
Substantial lamps can anchor consoles and sideboards, while slimmer or paired designs suit bedsides and desks; shade scale determines how broadly and softly the light is distributed.
Materials and craftsmanship
The collection draws on ceramic, brass, linen, steel and bronze. Considered surface treatments, proportions and material junctions give the designs an additional layer of refinement. Material, surface and making technique create a nuanced table lamps collection with a strong sense of character. Confirm the relevant globe, dimming, certification and installation requirements for the selected fixture.
Scale, placement and everyday use
Consider the height of the table and the eye line of seated or reclining users. A pair can create symmetry on a console or bedside setting, while one sculptural lamp can anchor a sideboard. Check shade dimensions, switch position, globe type and cord placement.
Frequently asked questions
How tall should a table lamp be?
The right height depends on the surface and task. For reading or bedside use, position the lower part of the shade near eye level to reduce glare while directing useful light.
