Glass Table Lamps
Glass table lamps play with light and transparency. Each type of glass creates a very different effect: opal glass diffuses light softly and evenly, coloured glass in amber or cognac bathes the room in warm tones, and textured glass creates lively reflections. In this collection you will find glass lamps with bases in metal, wood and travertine.
How to choose the right glass lamp
- Glare-free light: for the bedside table and reading corner, opal or satin glass shades work best.
- Accent: coloured glass also works as a decorative object on a sideboard or shelf during the day.
- Material mix: glass with walnut feels warm, glass with chrome cooler and more modern.
Make sure the glass lamp stands securely and out of the way of passers-by. Glass type, light source and dimensions of each glass lamp are listed on its product page.
Frequently asked questions
Are there glass table lamps with touch control?
Yes, PRISM combines a grey aluminium housing with an opal glass dome and is operated by touch. The opal glass spreads the light evenly, while the housing gives the lamp an architectural shape. The banker's lamp ANTIK, by contrast, switches on the classic way with a pull chain.
Clear glass or smoked glass: which shade should I choose?
ZOA lets you choose between clear glass and smoked glass on a travertine base. Clear glass looks light and shows the light source, while smoked glass softens the light and gives a warmer, more muted tone. For as little glare as possible, go for matt white glass as on ZENO, or opal glass.
How do I clean a glass table lamp?
Switch the lamp off and let it cool. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth; for fingerprints, a slightly damp microfibre cloth works well, then wipe dry. On models with a stone base such as ZOA or ZIRO, keep cleaning products away from the travertine.
