Cordless Table Lamp
Table Lamps
A table lamp built on a clear glass column over a metal base, finished with a woven fabric shade. Offered in gold and brushed nickel, so the same silhouette can sit warm against wood or cool against grey.
Calm light for bedside reading
- Bedroom
Bedside lighting should be directional, dimmable and reachable without standing up.
Calm light for bedside reading
Reading in bed fails for one of two reasons: the light spills across the whole room, or the reader has to sit up to reach the switch. Both are placement problems rather than brightness problems.
A table lamp on the nightstand throws light down onto a book and keeps the beam narrow. Placing it beside the head rather than behind it avoids a shadow across the page, and the switch stays within reach from the pillow.
An opaque shade matters more than output here: it blocks the sideways glare that reaches a partner. Rotating the shade towards the wall softens the beam further.
Keep the warmest colour temperature available and dim to the lowest comfortable step. A three-step touch dimmer is usually enough control for reading.
