Know before you buy
This lamp uses a standard E26 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 150 watts. You can use incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs as long as they fit the E26 socket and do not exceed the wattage limit.
The lamp has a footprint of 19 inches by 10 inches. Given its 34-inch height, it is best suited for larger surfaces like entry consoles, sideboards, or spacious nightstands where its sculptural form can be fully appreciated.
The graphite finish is designed to be sophisticated and understated, typically featuring a matte or satin-like texture that complements the Brutalist aesthetic of the lamp's sculptural body.
Yes, the lamp includes a pale bone linen shade, as well as a matching base and finial. This ensures a cohesive look right out of the box.
The linen shade is designed to diffuse light, creating a soft, ambient glow rather than a harsh task light. While it provides ample illumination for a room, you may want to pair it with a dedicated task light if you plan on using it for intensive reading.
