Three tiers of glass, stacked in the cascading profile that Danish lighting is known for, on a metal stem with a spool detail and a flat disc base. The Strata is a table lamp in the tradition of Danish layered lighting: each tier catches the light and passes it downward, so the room gets a glow instead of a glare.The glass follows the finish, and this is worth knowing before you pick. Chrome and gloss black carry white opal glass for a cool, even light. Copper carries amber glass, which makes the same lamp a warmer, more vintage object. You are choosing the light as much as the metal.Brightness is stepless. A control knob sits on the stem and the supplier pairs this version with a remote for dimming, so it runs from full reading light down to a late-evening glow. It holds a living room side table, a study, or a bedside.
