Raines View Gray Lamp

This lamp features a cream-colored linen drum shade. Linen is a premium natural fiber highly valued in lighting for its ability to beautifully diffuse light. Rather than creating a harsh glare, the linen weave softens the output to create a warm, inviting glow. The drum shape further ensures an even distribution of light both upward and downward, making it ideal for both ambient room lighting and focused tasks like reading.

Yes, a cement base is an excellent choice for busy households or high-traffic areas like entryways and living rooms. Because cement is a naturally heavy and dense material, it provides a stable, weighted foundation that makes the lamp much more resistant to tipping or being accidentally knocked over by pets or children compared to lighter glass or plastic alternatives.

While the overall gray color and modern style remain consistent, each base features handcrafted details produced by a skilled artist. Because of the unique techniques used during the crafting process, the textures and finish of the cement will vary slightly from piece to piece. This ensures that every lamp is a one-of-a-kind artisanal item, adding a personalized, custom feel to your home decor.

Based on our material care expertise, we recommend dusting the cement base regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish. For the cream linen shade, a lint roller is the most effective way to remove surface dust. If a stain occurs, you may use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, but you should always avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural texture of the cement or discolor the fabric.

No, this lamp is designed for easy setup and does not require professional installation. It is noted as "partial assembly required," which typically involves simply attaching the harp and securing the linen drum shade to the base. This straightforward process allows you to have your new lighting centerpiece ready for use in just a few minutes.

Following professional interior design "rules of thumb," a 28-inch lamp is perfectly proportioned for tables approximately 20 inches high, such as a standard end table or nightstand. This height ensures that the bottom of the 15-inch wide shade remains at eye level when you are seated, providing optimal illumination for a sofa or bedside while preventing the bulb from causing direct glare.
