Oakmont Reef Multi Lamp

The hand-blown glass base provides an elegant, artistic aesthetic, but it is lighter and more delicate than solid wood or metal alternatives. With an 8-inch diameter base, it offers stable footing for standard use. However, for high-traffic areas or homes with active pets and children, we recommend placing the lamp toward the center of a sturdy, level surface to minimize the risk of it being accidentally tipped.

This item is designed for easy setup, though partial assembly is required. This typically involves securing the shade to the base using the provided socket ring or harp and finial. Because this model includes a nightlight feature, the internal bulb is often pre-installed, though we recommend checking all connections before the first use to ensure everything is seated correctly.

At 14.5 inches tall, this lamp is best categorized as an accent or "small-scale" table lamp. While it can work on an end table for ambient light, its compact height makes it particularly ideal for smaller surfaces like an entryway console, a bookshelf, or a compact nightstand. As a general rule of thumb for lighting, you want the bottom of the shade to be at roughly eye level when you are seated, making this a perfect height for lower-profile furniture or decorative nooks.

Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to dust the hand-blown glass base. If a deeper clean is needed, apply a small amount of glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying the lamp directly. For the off-white fabric shade, a lint roller or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment is the most effective way to remove dust and maintain the pristine color without damaging the fibers or leaving water spots.

This lamp features an off-white fabric drum shade, which is a classic choice for balanced illumination. Unlike tapered shades that direct light downward, the vertical sides of a drum shade allow light to escape evenly from both the top and the bottom. This design provides a mix of functional task lighting for the surface below and soft, ambient light that reflects off the ceiling to brighten the room.

The base of this lamp is crafted from hand-blown swirled glass, which houses an internal light source. This allows the translucent glass body to glow independently of the main bulb under the shade. This "double-lit" feature is highly effective for creating a warm, low-level ambiance in hallways or bedrooms during the evening, providing enough light for visibility without the glare of a full-strength lamp.

The "Oakmont Reef" is specifically designed to bridge coastal and modern styles. The multi-colored swirl in the glass mimics the organic movement of water and coral reefs, making it a natural fit for seaside homes. Simultaneously, the clean lines of the drum shade and the chic glass material ensure it feels right at home in a contemporary or transitional space that needs a sophisticated splash of color.
