Vintage LED Wooden Table Lamp

The Vintage LED Wooden Table Lamp sits deliberately between two eras. The silhouette borrows from mid-century table lamps, while the light source and the controls are entirely modern, and the shade is fixed by an unusual method that leaves the join clean instead of clamped. The result reads as something found rather than bought, which is a hard quality to manufacture.

The timber is finished by hand and sanded smooth enough that the grain is felt as much as seen, so the lamp warms a surface visually even before it is switched on. Energy-efficient LEDs inside throw a cosy, low-colour-temperature glow that suits a living room in the evening, a bedside table, a study or a hallway console far better than a cool white bulb would.

Available in black and white finishes, it works as a matched pair on either side of a bed or as a single accent on a sideboard. Running costs are negligible thanks to the efficiency of the LED, and there is no bulb to buy or replace on a stepladder every couple of years. Wipe the wood with a dry cloth now and then, and keep the lamp away from prolonged direct sunlight so the finish holds its colour.
