Black Swizzle table lamp, crown of smoked glass rods, E14

A cylinder of grey rods

The straight smoked glass rods, of slightly staggered heights, are hung from a black metal circle and form an open sleeve around the bulb holder. Switched off, the crown looks anthracite grey; switched on, it lightens and lets the source show through. The stand, a simple black stem on a disc, stays discreet.

Switching on and the bulb

The switch operates an E14 socket rated for 60 W maximum, with no bulb in the box. As tinted glass holds back part of the light, choose a clear bulb rather than an opaque one. No dimming is possible. Class II appliance, for dry rooms only (IP20).

A small format

Allow 15 cm in width and depth. Beside a bed, it leaves room for a book; on a desk, set it back from the screen to avoid reflections.
