Lighting Real stone, so the light comes out warm A solid alabaster shade on a blackened-brass base. Stone is never uniform, which is why the glow has depth instead of the flat wash you get from a plastic diffuser. Solid alabaster shade Cut from real stone. Every one has a different vein pattern running through it. Warm, soft light The stone diffuses and warms the bulb. No hard edge, no glare on a wall. Weighted brass base Heavy enough that a passing sleeve does not take it off the table. Inline dimmer On the cord, at hand height. Set it once for the evening. 01 — The material Why stone, not glass Frosted glass scatters light evenly and flatly. Alabaster is slightly translucent and slightly irregular, so the light varies across the shade — that is what makes it look expensive. 02 — The bulb Warm white, always At 2700K the stone reads honey. Put a cool bulb in it and the whole effect collapses into grey. The included bulb is the right one. 03 — The scale Sized for a side table 42 cm tall — enough presence next to a chair without blocking the room. Two of them flanking a sofa is the way most people use it.
