Elegant table lamp, bronze ring, navy blue shade

A bronze circle under a navy blue shade

The stand is simply a metal rod bent into a complete circle, set on a flat base of the same tone. The centre stays open: you can see the wall through it. The shade, wider at the bottom than at the top, is covered in navy blue fabric with velvety highlights, which the bronze brings out.

An E27 bulb to provide

The E27 socket takes a bulb of 60 W at most, to be bought separately. Beneath this dark fabric, the light escapes mainly through the top and bottom of the shade: choose a warm white LED for ambient lighting. A switch turns it on. Class II and IP20: indoor use, in a dry room.

Which piece of furniture to put it on

The 40 cm shade overhangs the base considerably. Leave a few centimetres between the fabric and the wall so that it does not rub, and prefer a fairly deep piece of furniture, such as a sideboard or a wide console.
