Lorne Shore Table Lamp - Sandy Chalk - Ivory

The Lorne Shore Table Lamp in Sandy Chalk - Ivory is 35.5cm across and 65cm high overall, with a shade on a textured base. The colour names the base first and the shade second. At 65cm it suits a console or a bedside rather than a low side table.

Lamp height is measured from the table, not the floor, and 65cm is tall. On a bedside at 55cm that puts the bottom of the shade near eye level when you are sitting up in bed, which is where you want it for reading and not where you want it for a bulb in your eyeline.

On a console at 80cm it works differently, throwing light across the wall rather than down onto a surface. Decide which job it is doing before choosing the spot.

The caveat is the shade diameter. At 35.5cm across it needs a surface deeper than 40cm or it will overhang, which looks like an accident on a narrow console.
