Irene Hills Teal Lamp

The use of art glass offers a unique, handcrafted aesthetic that provides a substantial, weighted base compared to lighter, hollow materials. Beyond its visual appeal, glass is a durable, non-porous material that retains its smoky teal color without fading. The brass-plated details provide a sophisticated contemporary look while offering a layer of resistance against wear, ensuring the lamp remains a durable focal point in your home.

This lamp is an excellent solution for space-conscious urban living. With a compact 9-inch diameter for both the base and the shade, it offers a minimal footprint that fits comfortably on narrow consoles or small apartment nightstands where surface area is at a premium. Its 20-inch height provides significant light output without overwhelming the vertical space of a smaller room.

To preserve the integrity of the materials, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For the art glass base, a cloth slightly dampened with water can effectively remove fingerprints, but you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the brass-plated accents. Based on our material care expertise, we also suggest keeping the white linen shade away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent the fabric from yellowing over time.

Stability and safety are critical considerations for busy homes. This lamp features a round, weighted glass base that provides a sturdy foundation on flat surfaces. At 20 inches tall, it has a lower center of gravity than many taller decorative lamps, making it less prone to being accidentally tipped over by pets or children.

This lamp is primarily designed to provide high-quality ambient and accent lighting. The hardback drum shade is constructed to reflect light upwards and downwards while the white linen fabric diffuses light outward, creating a soft, warm glow. For intensive reading, we recommend pairing this lamp with an LED bulb that offers 450 to 800 lumens to ensure the diffused light is bright enough for comfortable focus.

Proportionality is key to a balanced room design. Based on the standard guideline that a lamp should be approximately 1.5 times the height of the surface it rests upon, this 20-inch lamp is ideally suited for lower-profile end tables or nightstands around 13 to 15 inches tall. This ensures the light source remains at a comfortable level for seated tasks while maintaining a cohesive visual scale with your furniture.
