A hand-blown glass orb that pools light on a desk or nightstand. Lit from within and set on a brass collar, each orb keeps the faint irregularities of mouth-blown glass. Small enough for a shelf, bright enough to read beside.

Details & materials
A hand-blown glass orb seated on a brass collar and base, lit softly from within. Each orb is mouth-blown by a glassmaker, so it keeps the faint bubbles, swirls, and irregularities of the craft — no two throw light in quite the same way, and yours is genuinely one of a kind.
The brass is left unlacquered to patina naturally, and the glass diffuses the bulb into an even, warm glow rather than a harsh point of light. Together they turn a small lamp into something that feels considered from every angle.
The base is weighted so a rounded form sits securely on a desk or nightstand, and the cord and inline switch are chosen to match the quality of the metal. It is a small object made with the attention usually reserved for a much larger one.
Dimensions
A small table lamp that pools warm light onto a desk, a nightstand, or a shelf — compact enough to slip anywhere, bright enough to read beside. The soft glow makes it as much an evening companion as a task light.
At 42 cm tall it sits comfortably on a bedside table without towering over it, and the 22 cm orb gives a generous, even light for its size. It works alone or as a matched pair either side of a bed.
Care
Dust the glass with a dry microfibre cloth and the brass with a soft, dry cloth. Always handle the lamp by its weighted base rather than the orb, and keep the cord clear of the desk edge to avoid knocks.
Fit a warm, low-wattage LED bulb to protect the glass from heat and keep the glow soft, and let the brass patina naturally over time. Keep the orb away from moisture and clean it only when cool.
The living brass finish means small marks and patina are part of its character; a gentle buff evens the tone if you prefer it brighter. The bulb and switch are standard and replaceable, so the lamp outlives any single part.
Measurements
Orb diameter 22 cm · Overall height 42 cm · Base diameter 14 cm · Bulb E14 LED, warm 2700K, dimmable · Cord 1.8 m · Weight 2.4 kg.
The 42 cm height suits a nightstand or desk without dominating it, and the 22 cm mouth-blown orb spreads a soft, even light rather than a hotspot. The weighted 14 cm base keeps the rounded form stable against a nudge, and the 1.8 m cord reaches most outlets.
