Beige Table Lamp, Turned Wood Vase Base 40 cm

A Wide Beige Coolie Shade Over a Turned Wood Vase Base and a Brass Collar

Two decisions carry this lamp. The first is the color of the shade: beige rather than white, an oatmeal fabric that adds a little warmth of its own as the light passes through it, so the lamp settles into a room of creams and browns instead of leaving a cold bright patch in the middle of it. The second is the shape of the base, turned from wood as an inverted vase: a rounded bowl sitting above a short stem and a small plinth, so the widest part of the wood is near the top rather than at the floor. A stack of fine turning rings and a brass tone collar mark the neck where the shade meets the wood. The lamp is 40 cm across and 46 cm tall, which is a console and sideboard proportion rather than a bedside one. Walnut and black are both offered under the same beige shade.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why a beige shade rather than white?

Because beige warms the light on the way through it. A white shade passes the color of the bulb almost unchanged; an oatmeal one adds a little warmth of its own, which is why the lamp reads softer in a room of creams and browns and does not leave a cold bright patch in the middle of it.

What shape is the base?

An inverted vase turned from wood: a rounded bowl sitting above a short stem and a small plinth, with a stack of fine rings and a brass tone collar at the neck where the shade meets the wood. The widest part is near the top, which is unusual and is what gives the lamp its profile.

How much room does it need?

The shade is 40 cm across and the lamp stands 46 cm tall, so plan on a console, a sideboard or a wide desk at least 45 cm deep. On a narrow nightstand a 40 cm shade overhangs the front edge.

Is a bulb included?

The holder takes a standard E26 or E27 screw base, LED or Edison, up to 40W. For a shade this wide, aim for roughly 700 to 900 lumens in a warm tone; the beige fabric takes the edge off a bright lamp but a dim one leaves the shade looking flat.

What is the difference between the two finishes?

Only the wood. Walnut keeps the grain and the turning rings visible and warms up under the beige shade. Black reads as a solid dark silhouette instead, which is the sharper of the two against a pale wall. Shade, size and fitting are identical.

How do I clean it?

Dust the beige fabric with a soft brush or a dry cloth, working outward along the slope. Wipe the wood with a barely damp cloth and dry it at once, taking care in the turning rings at the neck where dust collects. Keep solvents off the wood and the brass tone collar.

Matching the Bulb to a 40 cm Beige Shade and Dusting the Turning Rings

A wide shade needs real output behind it. The holder takes a standard E26 or E27 screw base up to 40W and the bulb is not supplied; aim for roughly 700 to 900 lumens in a warm tone, because the beige fabric takes the edge off a bright lamp while a dim one leaves a 40 cm shade looking flat and empty. Avoid a cold white, which fights the oatmeal color of the fabric and the warmth of the wood. Setting up takes no tools: an ordinary outlet, 150 cm of cord and an inline push button switch, on AC 110 to 240V, with the plug chosen at order in US, UK, AU or EU form. For care, dust the fabric outward along the slope of the shade and wipe the wood with a barely damp cloth, dried at once. The stack of fine turning rings at the neck is where dust settles, so work a dry brush into them rather than expecting a cloth to reach. Keep solvents off both the wood and the brass tone collar.
