Table Lamps
A good table lamp provides focused light for a bedside table, sideboard or desk without illuminating the rest of the room. Taiga offers table lamps from GOOD&MOJO and It's about Romi made from marble, glass, travertine, ash wood with LED, alder wood, raffia and bamboo.
Buying guide: materials and placement
Marble and travertine bases add weight and a calm, matt look that works well with natural stone or wooden furniture. Glass table lamps diffuse light more clearly and look lighter in appearance. Bamboo and raffia shades soften the light to create a warm atmosphere, making them suitable for corners where ambience matters more than brightness. Models with an integrated LED, such as the ash wood version, save energy but cannot be fitted with other bulbs – something to consider before the fitting is permanently installed. Alder wood bases add a warm, understated wood look and work well with lighter, pared-back interiors.

Marble or glass – which works better on a bedside table?
Glass looks lighter and combines well with bright rooms, while marble adds more weight and a calmer, matt appearance – both work well on a bedside table, depending on the look you want.
Which table lamp is best for a desk?
For focused work, models with a clearer light output, such as glass, are better suited than heavily diffusing natural-fibre shades made from bamboo or raffia.
How bright should a table lamp be?
Low wattages with warm white light are enough for ambient lighting, while a brighter, neutral white light is recommended for reading corners or desks.
For more light above the dining table, a pendant light works well alongside it. You can find the full range under Sustainable Lighting.
