Lumenorth Spool Small Table Lamp

Spool pairs a soft white glass globe with a turned, ridged base that looks like something lifted off a workshop bench. The base carries all of the colour and character; the globe keeps the light even and glare-free, which is the right division of labour for a lamp that sits close to where people sit.

There are eight colours to choose from: orange, red, two shades of green, white, brown, black and cream. The globe stays constant across all of them, so a set of two or three in different colours still reads as a family rather than as a collection of unrelated lamps gathered by accident. That makes it an easy way to bring colour into a room in small, reversible doses, rather than committing a whole wall or a sofa to a shade you may tire of.

This is a genuinely small lamp. It suits a bedside table already crowded with books, an office desk, a kitchen shelf or a windowsill, the places where a standard lamp would simply not fit. The glass diffuses the bulb completely, so there is nothing harsh at close range, and the weighted base keeps it upright on a surface that is already carrying more than it should.
