Description
The Carbide Table Lamp is defined by a simple form and an exposed metal character. Its steel construction and raw iron colour give the fitting an industrial appearance suited to interiors where metal surfaces, restrained forms and deliberately rugged finishes are part of the overall design.
As a table lamp, Carbide works particularly well where its open shade can remain visible. The shade allows light to travel in two directions rather than concentrating all illumination beneath a fully enclosed form, giving the lamp a more open lighting effect.
- Open shade distributes light both upwards and downwards
- Raw iron colour reinforces the industrial appearance
- Steel construction gives the lamp a distinctly metallic character
- E27 fitting provides flexibility when choosing the bulb
- In-line power switch keeps operation straightforward
- Matching Carbide wall and pendant lights complete the range
Raw iron-coloured steel defines the design
Carbide is made from steel, with a raw-metal appearance clearly visible in its surface. The raw iron colour is a defining part of the design rather than a neutral background treatment.
This makes the lamp particularly relevant to industrial-style interiors and spaces where metallic surfaces are already part of the material palette. The design relies on the character of the metal itself rather than additional decorative elements.
Its restrained construction also allows Carbide to sit alongside other strong materials without competing through excessive ornamentation. It is a natural option for anyone looking for a metal table lamp with a deliberately raw visual character.
Open shade sends light up and down
The open shade is central to the way Carbide handles light. Illumination is distributed both downwards and upwards rather than being enclosed within the shade.
Downward light reaches the surface close to the lamp, while upward light contributes to the surrounding illumination. The open construction also supports the lamp’s technical, industrial appearance by leaving the relationship between shade and light source visually straightforward.
The choice of E27 bulb therefore has a noticeable influence on the final lighting effect. A compatible bulb can be selected according to the preferred brightness and colour temperature within the permitted maximum wattage.
Replaceable E27 bulb and in-line switch
Carbide takes one E27 bulb with a maximum wattage of 40 W. The bulb is not included, giving flexibility to select a light source that suits the room and intended atmosphere.
The power switch is located on the cord, leaving the steel body and open shade visually uncluttered. This straightforward control method fits naturally with the lamp’s simple construction.
Matching Carbide wall and pendant lights continue the same raw iron-coloured appearance. Using models from the same family makes it possible to repeat the industrial metal character at different levels within an interior.
