This solid wood table lamp pairs a sculptural base of solid wood, in a dark wood finish, with a diffusing shade of white premium fabric. It is 33 cm across and 39 cm high, a generous volume that never overwhelms. It is made for the lounge, the bedroom or a wide console.

A solid wood table lamp with a white fabric shade

Proportions matter a great deal in a light, and this solid wood table lamp gets them right: a diameter of 33 cm and a height of 39 cm, ample without being heavy on the eye. The base is solid wood in a dark finish, a sculptural shape that gives the solid wood table lamp a firm, grounded look. The shade is a premium fabric in white, which diffuses the light and softens it into a gentle, even glow. The contrast between the dark wood and the pale shade is the essence of the lamp: the base holds the eye low, and the shade gives the light above. A solid wood table lamp of this kind fits easily into a lounge with natural materials, where its wood picks up the tone of a table or a floor, and its white shade reflects the walls. In a bedroom it makes a restful bedside light on a wide table, and in a study it sits comfortably on a sideboard. The fabric shade, unlike glass, scatters the light widely, so the lamp gives a room-filling glow instead of a hard point. A solid wood table lamp built on this model is suited to people who like warmth in the materials around them, and who prefer a soft pool of light to a bright spot.

The specification of this solid wood table lamp

The technical side is plain, and your electrician will find it familiar. The solid wood table lamp is 33 cm in diameter and 39 cm in height. The bulb cap is a standard E27 Edison screw (ES), and it takes a bulb of up to 40 W, either incandescent or an LED equivalent; the bulb is not included. The solid wood table lamp is compatible with a dimmer, which is not included, so the mood can be adjusted through the evening; make sure the bulb you choose is dimmable. The voltage range is 110 to 240 V AC. The solid wood table lamp connects to the mains through a cable of 150 cm, fitted with a push-button switch. It is for indoor use only. Under a 2.40 m ceiling it is a comfortable size, since a lamp 39 cm high stands far below any light fitting. The base is solid wood, in a dark wood finish, and the shade is a premium fabric in white. The wooden base gives the solid wood table lamp a real weight on the table, so choose a firm surface. For a table lamp with a fabric shade, a warm white LED bulb is the right choice, as it gives the white fabric a soft, creamy tone that suits wood. A solid wood table lamp of this width asks for a surface at least a little wider than its shade, so that it does not overhang. With the push-button on the cable, you can switch it on without touching the shade.

Placing a solid wood table lamp in the room

A solid wood table lamp should be placed where its shape can be seen. On a sideboard in a dining room, the solid wood table lamp gives a warm, low glow that is kind to a table in the evening. On a wide bedside table, it makes a bedroom lamp of real presence, though with a diameter of 33 cm it needs a table of reasonable size. On a console behind a sofa, the pale shade lights the wall behind, and the dark base anchors the console visually. In a study, it adds a gentle local light beside a bookshelf. As the shade of the solid wood table lamp is fabric, dust it from time to time with a soft brush or a dry cloth, and keep it away from damp and from heat. A solid wood table lamp pairs well with stone, ceramic and linen, and with brass for a touch of shine. If you choose two for a pair, set them at the same height on either side of a bed or a sofa for a restful symmetry. With a dimmer, the solid wood table lamp can move from a reading light to a night glow without changing a bulb. Treat it as a main piece of the room, and let its materials set the tone of the scheme around it.

A solid wood base, a white fabric shade and a dimmable light: this solid wood table lamp offers warmth and presence in a calm form. Alborra selects it for rooms that like natural materials. Choose it for a console, a bedside or a sideboard.
