Know before you buy
No, lightbulbs are not included with the lamp. You will need to purchase a bulb separately that fits the specific socket type for your chosen size—E12 for the Piccola model or E26 for the Grande model.
The Piccola is the smaller version, measuring 8 inches in diameter and 13.5 inches in height, while the Grande is larger at 10.5 inches in diameter and 17.5 inches in height. Both sizes feature the same design aesthetic, but the Grande provides a more substantial presence for larger side tables or desks.
The lamp is operated via a convenient on/off switch located directly on the power cable. This allows for easy access without needing to reach under the lampshade.
The shade is made of high-quality hand-blown glass, which is delicate by nature. While it is durable enough for standard residential use, it should be handled with care during assembly and cleaning to avoid chips or cracks.
Yes, the Lumiere Nuances is designed to provide focused illumination. Its structure makes it an excellent choice for bedside reading or as a dedicated task light on a desk or workspace.
