With its spherical opal glass shade and black lacquered metal structure, this black bedside lamp has a round, graphic outline. At 27 cm tall, it is easy to place on a bedside table, a console or a desk. Alborra chose it for the softness of its ambient light and the restraint of its drawing.

A black bedside lamp with a spherical shade

The spherical form is the signature of this black bedside lamp. A globe 25 cm in diameter, in opal glass, spreads the light widely and draws an even halo around the lamp, with no marked shadow. Opal glass has the particular quality of hiding the bulb while letting a milky clarity through, which makes the light comfortable for the eyes in the evening. With a lighting area of 5 to 8 square metres, the black bedside lamp is more generous than a small model: it does not simply light the bedside, it dresses part of the room. Its modest height of 27 cm, for a width of 25 cm, gives it a squat profile that contrasts with slender models. The lacquered metal structure of this black bedside lamp provides a clean finish, whose deep colour underlines the roundness of the globe. The colours available, gold or black according to the selection, let you match the lamp to the mood of the bedroom: black for a graphic, contemporary look, gold for a warmer atmosphere. It works as well as a bedside light as it does as an ambient light on a storage unit. Its rounded profile keeps sharp edges away from a crowded bedside table, where books, glasses and a phone compete for space. Set on a bedside table, a black bedside lamp of this scale makes a focal point, around which books, plants and decorative objects can be arranged.

The specification of this black bedside lamp

The E27 Edison screw (ES) bulb cap of this black bedside lamp is the most common for household bulbs, which makes replacing the bulb simple: a standard-shaped LED bulb does the job perfectly, up to a maximum of 40 W depending on the type of bulb. Depending on the pack, the bulb is not always supplied, so it is worth checking before you order. The voltage accepted, 90 to 260 V AC, covers most domestic installations. The cable switch has a simple on and off button, immediate and needing no learning: a single press turns the light on or off. This black bedside lamp thus pairs a highly worked look with a deliberately classic technology that you understand in a few seconds. The opal glass, translucent and smooth, gives an even result, while the lacquered metal wipes clean with a soft cloth. A warm bulb brings out the milky whiteness of the sphere; a more neutral bulb stresses its graphic side. On a console, in a guest room or in a decorative corner, its roundness adds a gentle note that contrasts with the angles of the furniture. By combining these choices, you adjust the mood of this black bedside lamp to the room, the season and the hour.

Where to install a black bedside lamp

This black bedside lamp suits many situations, and that is what makes it interesting. In a bedroom this black bedside lamp complements the ceiling light, which is often too bright: placed on the bedside table, it prepares the room gently for sleep. Its soft light invites you to slow down, which is precious in a room for rest. In a lounge, put it on a sideboard or console near the sofa to make a second centre of light that balances the general lighting. On a desk, its 25 cm globe gives a supplementary light that relaxes the eye between tasks. In a guest room, this black bedside lamp offers travellers a comfort that is immediately clear. As a decorative object, it is enough in itself on a low piece of furniture, off or on, thanks to its generous form. A pair on either side of the bed gives a calm, symmetrical arrangement that suits a restrained bedroom. Leave some space around the globe of the black bedside lamp and avoid shutting it in between objects that are too close. If you have two lamps, pair one gold and one black for a dialogue of finishes, or keep the same colour on both sides of the bed for a very calm symmetry. A black bedside lamp of this scale also sits well with all natural materials: pale wood, stone, linen or rattan.

Round, restrained and luminous, this black bedside lamp in opal glass and lacquered metal fits naturally into the bedroom, the lounge or the study. Alborra offers it in black or gold according to the selection. Give your bedside table a soft light and real decorative character.
