Kara table lamp in blue blown glass and polished nickel, white lampshade

Blue glass and shiny metal

The sphere, in pale blue tinted glass, has a rippled surface that distorts the light like the water in a swimming pool. The polished nickel steel neck and the finial in the same metal add silvery reflections. The white lampshade, in faux silk handmade in the United Kingdom, stays crisp.

Lighting

One E27 bulb of 60 W maximum, not included. The white fabric spreads a clear, even light; a 3000 K LED complements the blue of the glass. Class I.

Size

55.5 cm high, with a 35.5 cm lampshade: a bedside or desk size.
