This travertine column table lamp is built on natural stone: a column of travertine carries a shade of enamelled metal with a fired finish. It stands 31 cm high, with a shade 25 cm across, and it draws on the spirit of wabi-sabi and japandi, which value imperfection and restraint. It is a light for interiors that love material.

A travertine column table lamp inspired by wabi-sabi and japandi

Wabi-sabi celebrates the beauty of what is simple, imperfect and made to last, and japandi joins it to Scandinavian rigour. This travertine column table lamp expresses both with honest materials and no needless ornament. The foot is a column of travertine, cut from natural stone whose surface carries the shades and small irregularities of the material: no two pieces are quite alike, which strengthens its natural character. Over it sits the shade in enamelled metal, with a fired finish, which sets a contrast of texture between the matt stone and the enamelled surface. With a height of 31 cm and a shade of 25 cm in diameter, the travertine column table lamp has wide, low proportions that give it a calm stance. Placed on a low piece of furniture, a hall console or a lounge table, the travertine column table lamp makes a quiet scene with a ceramic, a book or a dried branch. The travertine column table lamp does not need a large room: its low, wide shade lights the furniture it stands on and a little of the wall behind, which is all a restful lamp has to do. It suits rooms where a restful atmosphere is wanted, the lounge, the bedroom or a reading corner. Its weight, about 3.8 kg, gives it a sense of solidity that you can see and feel, and that people expect of a light made of stone.

Stone, enamel and G9: the specification of a travertine column table lamp

The facts about this travertine column table lamp come down to a few clear points, and your electrician will find them useful. The foot is a travertine column in natural stone, and the shade is enamelled metal with a fired finish. The overall height is 31 cm and the shade is 25 cm in diameter, which gives a generous lit surface for a light of this size. On the lighting side, the travertine column table lamp takes three interchangeable G9 capsule bulbs, so they can be replaced at any time without touching the structure. Three sources give a spread of light that adapts to the room according to the type of bulb you choose. With the shade at 25 cm across, the travertine column table lamp throws a broad pool of light for its height. The supply voltage is 220 V, the standard. The weight of about 3.8 kg keeps the travertine column table lamp steady on a piece of furniture, and it also means the surface must be level and firm. The whole belongs to a wabi-sabi and japandi tradition, in which material counts for more than form and each detail is quiet. For anyone looking for a table lamp that will last, the replaceable bulbs are a real argument, because they remove any reason to part with the lamp when a source fails.

Setting a travertine column table lamp in a natural scheme

To show a travertine column table lamp to advantage, choose surroundings that share its language: pale wood, washed linen, matt ceramic and rough textiles. On an oak console or a low sideboard, the stone column talks to the tone of the wood, while the enamelled shade catches the light differently from the stone. As the travertine column table lamp has three G9 capsules, you can choose warm bulbs for an ambient light, or a more neutral tone if you mean to read by it, since the bulbs are interchangeable. Place it on a flat, stable surface, keeping in mind its weight of about 3.8 kg. At 31 cm, the travertine column table lamp is more of a supplementary light, which lights the surface of the furniture and its surroundings, so think about the height of your eyes when seated. A lamp of this size lends itself to repetition: two on either side of a sofa or a chest of drawers give a restful symmetry without weighing the room down. It also suits a classical room as well as a japandi one. Dust the stone with a dry cloth, and do not scrub the surface. A travertine column table lamp does not need to be the only light in the room: pair it with a floor lamp, and you will have a low source and a high one.
