Rattan Table Lamp, Turned Ash Baluster Base 30 cm

A Hand Woven Rattan Shade Over a Solid Ash Baluster Turned and Walnut Stained

Two hand processes meet in this lamp. The shade is woven from natural rattan, and because the canes leave small gaps between them the light does not arrive as a flat wash: part of it passes through the weave and throws a soft dappled pattern onto the wall behind, while the shade itself reads as texture rather than as a plain cone. The body underneath is solid ash hardwood, turned on a lathe into the baluster form, a full belly, a narrow neck and a disc at the waist, then stained to a walnut tone with the grain left visible through the finish. Ash is not walnut, and that matters: it is a North American hardwood with a strong open grain, and since each body is turned from a different board the figure and the depth of the color shift from one lamp to the next. Two other shades fit the same body, a plaid fabric with vertical brown trim and a woven fabric bound in leather.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

What does a rattan shade do to the light?

It breaks it up. The canes are woven with small gaps between them, so part of the light passes through the weave and part is stopped, and what lands on the wall behind is a soft dappled pattern rather than an even glow. Lit, the shade itself reads as texture. The fabric shades give a flatter, more conventional light.

Which of the three shades should I choose?

Rattan is the lightest and the most textured, and it suits a coastal or Japandi room. The plaid fabric with its vertical brown trim is the warmest and the most traditional. The woven fabric bound in leather is the most tailored of the three and reads well in a study or a library. The wood body and the fitting are identical on all three.

Is the base real walnut?

Solid ash hardwood, hand turned and then stained to a walnut tone, which is why the grain shows through the color. Ash is a North American hardwood with a strong open grain that takes stain well. Each turning comes from a different board, so no two bodies match exactly.

Is a bulb included?

Yes. A 9W E26 LED at 2700K warm white is fitted before the lamp ships, with a color rendering index of Ra 97, which is high enough that fabric and wood tones under it look the way they do in daylight. You can replace it later with any standard E26 or E27 lamp.

How do I switch it on?

Two ways, and that is deliberate. A brass pull chain hangs from the body, within reach if the lamp is at your elbow, and an inline push button sits on the cord for when the lamp is behind a sofa or on a shelf. Both control the same fitting.

How do I clean a rattan shade?

Dust it dry with a soft brush, working along the weave rather than across it, or use a vacuum on its lowest suction held slightly off the surface. Keep water away from the rattan. The ash body takes a barely damp cloth, dried at once, and no solvents.

A Pull Chain and an Inline Switch, a Bulb Already Fitted, and How to Dust Rattan

The lamp arrives ready to use, with a 9W E26 LED already in the holder. It is a warm white at 2700K with a color rendering index of Ra 97, which is high enough that the rattan, the fabric and the stained ash all look under it the way they look in daylight; a cheaper lamp flattens exactly those materials. Switching is doubled on purpose: a brass pull chain hangs from the body for when the lamp sits at your elbow, and an inline push button on the 150 cm cord covers the case where it stands behind a sofa or up on a shelf. The plug is chosen at order in US, UK, AU or EU form, on AC 110 to 240V, and nothing needs installing. Rattan is cleaned dry: a soft brush worked along the weave rather than across it, or a vacuum on its lowest suction held slightly off the surface. Keep water away from the canes, and wipe the ash body with a barely damp cloth dried straight afterwards.
