Murano Glass Table Lamp

The Murano Glass Table Lamp draws on one of the oldest glassmaking traditions in Europe and puts it into a shape that belongs in a contemporary room. The body is shaped and finished by hand, so colour and thickness shift subtly across its surface, and the light passing through carries that variation with it. The result is a warm, layered glow that no moulded shade can imitate.

Retro in silhouette and modern in the details, it sits comfortably on a sideboard, a dining table, a bedside cabinet or a hotel reception desk. Touch the base to bring the light up, touch again to step it down, all the way to a low amber that suits the end of an evening. There is no visible switch and no exposed hardware to interrupt the form.

Because the glass is worked by hand, every lamp differs slightly from the next, which is a feature rather than a flaw and the main reason pieces like this hold their character for decades. Handle it as you would any fine glass, keep it clear of hard edges, and clean it with a dry microfiber cloth rather than a spray that can mark the surface over time. Treated with a little care, it is a lamp that outlives most of the furniture around it.
