Sablune Wireless Table Lamp | Rechargeable Hourglass Design In White, Grey or Black Finish

An hourglass is a shape with a waist, and a waist is what stops a table lamp reading as a cylinder somebody stood on a shelf. The Marlow Vane Sablune uses that profile so the lamp is worth looking at in daylight as well as in use, which matters for an object that spends most of its life switched off. A lamp on a sideboard is furniture for twenty hours a day and lighting for four, and most designs only account for the four.

Cordless is the practical half. A wired lamp goes where the socket is, which is why most rooms have light around the edges and nothing in the middle. This one charges and then sits on a dining table, a bar cart, a bathroom shelf or a bedside without a cable crossing anybody's path or dictating where the table has to stand.

Buy it now and stop planning the table around a socket. Three finishes are offered, with white and grey reading quiet and black reading graphic. Charge it fully before first use, expect shorter runtime at the brightest setting, keep the lamp dry, and never leave it charging unattended on a bed, a sofa or any soft furnishing where the heat cannot escape.
