Baumar Bauhaus Table Lamp | Designer Nordic Glass Lamp For Desks, Sideboards and Home Studies

Bauhaus design was built on the idea that a shape should be honest about what it is. This Marlow Vane table lamp follows that line, pairing a glass body with clean geometry and no ornament that is not doing a job. It is a lamp that looks considered on a sideboard in daylight and earns its place again the moment it is switched on in the evening.

Glass gives the piece a lightness that a solid base cannot. Light passes through the body as well as out of the shade, so the lamp reads as a lit object rather than a dark stem holding a bright top. That makes it work on a console table or a desk where you are looking at the lamp from the side for hours, and it stops the corner of a study feeling heavy.

Buy it now if you want one good lamp rather than three ordinary ones. Set it on a stable, level surface where the cable can run out of the way, and keep it back from the edge of a desk. Let it cool before handling, clean the glass with a soft dry cloth, and take care when moving it since glass is unforgiving of a knock against a hard floor.
