This lamp
Why this one
Five reasons it earns its place
Eight stones, not eight colourways
Most lamps at this size offer you a choice of paint. This one offers a choice of quarry: Arabescato, Calacatta Viola, Rosso Levanto, Royal Rose, Emperador Light, Green Marble and Travertine.
Fabric over glass
A glass or acrylic shade throws a defined edge of light. Fabric scatters it, so what reaches the pillow is a wash rather than a line.
The numbers
BaseCylindrical natural marble
ShadeFabric
StonesEight to choose from
Eight natural marbles, not eight paint coloursMarble is cut from stone, so the veining on your base is not the veining in the photograph.
Fabric shade, so the light lands soft rather than sharpFabric diffuses the light rather than bouncing it, so there is no hard bright edge.
Rechargeable, no cable in useFrom pale Arabescato and Travertine through to Rosso Levanto and Emperador Light.
Bulb and battery both includedStone has real mass, so the lamp stays where you put it on a console or a nightstand.
Quarried stone, so no two bases matchCovered by a three year warranty from the maker, on a lamp whose base is cut stone.
