Turned timber forms the base and a spun metal shade caps it, black or white, with the join left plain. The shade is deep enough that the GU10 lamp sits well inside it, so what reaches the table is a defined circle of light rather than a spread. Grain runs visibly through the wood and the two materials are left to sit against each other without trim. Switched off, it reads as a small object rather than a fixture.
Put it where a narrow beam is useful. On a nightstand it lights a book without waking the person beside you. On a desk it clears the keyboard and leaves the screen alone. On a shelf between two stacks of books it gives a corner of the room a centre. In a room that already has an overhead light, this is the lamp that gets used after the overhead goes off.
The lamp stands 33 cm tall on a 17 cm base, plugs into a standard outlet and takes one GU10 bulb, not included; a warm dimmable LED suits it best. Wipe the timber with a dry cloth and keep it clear of steam. Vandora looks for pieces that hold up under daily handling, and a lamp you reach for in the dark qualifies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it wake someone sleeping next to me?
No, the deep shade keeps the GU10 bulb well inside it, so what reaches the table is a defined circle of light rather than a spread that lights the whole room. On a nightstand it lets you read without disturbing anyone beside you.
Black or white shade?
Both pair the same turned timber base with a spun metal shade, so the choice is about how much contrast you want between the two materials. Black gives a sharper contrast against the wood grain, while white keeps the whole piece lighter and softer.
What bulb does it need?
It takes one GU10 bulb, not included, and a warm dimmable LED suits it best. Any standard GU10, whether LED, incandescent or fluorescent, will fit the fitting.
Can I use it on a desk without lighting up my screen?
Yes, the shade is deep enough to keep the light directed down onto the desk surface, clearing the keyboard while leaving the screen unaffected. That makes it useful for evening desk work without extra glare.
How do I look after the wood?
Wipe the timber with a dry cloth and keep it clear of steam, since the wood is not sealed against moisture in a way that would handle a bathroom or a kitchen near boiling water. Regular dry dusting is all it needs.
