Table Lamps

Table and desk lamps bring focused light down to where it's needed most, whether that's a pool of warmth on a living-room side table or a working beam across a home-office desk. Our collection pairs sculptural bases in brass, ceramic and marble with shades chosen to either throw light upward into the room or direct it precisely onto the page.

    Modern LED table lamps usually run at 5 to 10 watts, producing 400 to 800 lumens, which sits comfortably between reading light and mood light. For bedside reading, aim for 500 lumens with a warm 2700K colour temperature; for a desk task lamp, 800 to 1000 lumens at 3000 to 4000K keeps work sharp without eye strain.

    A bedside table lamp should sit with the bottom of the shade roughly level with your chin when sitting up in bed, so the bulb stays hidden from view. For most bedframes, that translates to a total lamp height of 55 to 70cm measured from the table surface. Match the pair across the bed for visual symmetry.

    Table lamps are designed to light a room ambiently, with fabric or diffusing shades that scatter warmth across a seating area. Desk lamps direct light downward onto a specific surface, often with an adjustable arm and a shielded head that avoids glare. A home office often benefits from both: the desk lamp for task, the table lamp for the wider room.

    A pair of table lamps at each end of a living room can replace overhead lighting entirely, giving the softer, layered feel often seen in Scandinavian interiors. Add a third floor lamp to cover the darker corners and the room reads as considered rather than dim. Dimmable bulbs add further flexibility between task and mood settings.

      Floor Lamps In 3 Looks
      In need of a little “me time”? Whether it's for curling up with a good book or just setting the mood for your nightcap, transform your space into a place of sanctuary with these 3 different Floor lamp ideas. Set in stone Hitting the perfect note when it comes to the mixed-material trend in floor standing lighting, the Line Two Floor Lamp by NORR11 mixes a solid marble base, hand anodised shade and industrial elements to create a striking silhouette. Glamorous glow The mid-century Gilda Armchair by Zanotta deserves an equally glamorous lighting concept. We've paired with two very different designs - the beautifully crafted Skipper Floor Light by Tom Raffield for a modern floor lamp look and Petite Friture's resplendent Mediterranea Floor Lamp - to show the effect mixing up your floor standing lighting can have on a room setting. Spotlight style These two unique takes on spotlighting are certain to provide a statement to your floor standing lighting. The first is an original industrial spotlight used on the aeroplane runaways of American military bases that has been reconditioned by Skinflint and is available at Heal's Tottenham Court Road store. This is followed by TedWood's Hang Up Leather Plug-In Lamp, a multi-functional lighting design that can be hung, draped and placed around the home. Shop Floor Lamps Back to top

Melt Floor Lamp Chandelier By Tom Dixon Whilst Tom Dixon’s entire Melt collection packs a punch, it’s the Melt Floor Lamp Chandelier that makes the biggest statement. Designed in collaboration with Swedish design collective FRONT, the lamp features seven otherworldly diffusers. Each one features a striking molten silhouette that’s achieved using vacuum metallisation and moulding. The orbs only become translucent when lit, meaning it makes a statement even when not in use. Noctambule Floor Lamp By Konstantin Grcic for Flos Named after the French word for ‘night owl’, Konstantin Grcic’s Noctambule Floor Lamp comes into its own after dark. By day the light is almost transparent and invisible, by night it transforms into a sculptural illumination. Want to know more about the Noctambule Floor Lamp? Read Behind the Design: Noctambule. Akari Bb3-33S Floor Lamp By Isamu Noguchi for Vitra The Akari Bb3-33S Floor Lamp is part of a collection of unusual floor lamps designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951. The Akari Light Sculptures are named after the Japanese word for ‘light’ in reference to their physical lightness and illumination. The inspiration behind the collection came from paper lanterns Noguchi observed at the Japanese town of Gifu. Today, each one is crafted by hand in the Ozeki workshop, a family-run crafters based in Gifu. Gravity XL Floor Lamp By Space Copenhagen for Gubi Designed by Space Copenhagen for Gubi, the Gravity Floor Lamp offers a traditional silhouette, scaled up for a modern touch. Each light in this collection of unusual floor lamps is remarkably sculptural thanks to an abundance of solid marble bases. When illuminated, the lamp casts an atmospheric glow through the traditional fabric shade. Birdie Floor Lamp By Ludovica and Roberto Polomba for Foscarini To create the Birdie Floor Lamp, Ludovica and Roberto Polomba took the classic lampshade-lamp and gave it a contemporary twist. The modern floor lamp is crafted using metallized polycarbonate, a cutting-edge finish that completes its playful aesthetic. Its touch-dimmer switch is cleverly disguised as a branch, like one a bird may roost on. This gives the light its name, Birdie. Type 75 Giant Floor Lamp By Sir Kenneth Grange for Anglepoise Three times the size of the classic Type 75 Desk Lamp, this oversized Anglepoise floor lamp is ideal for modern spaces. It’s crafted using precision-machined components and even boasts a rotating shade, making it just as functional as its Lilliputian inspiration. Even better, this unusual floor lamp really makes a statement and looks incredible in large living spaces. Superloon Floor Lamp By Jasper Morrison for Flos Modern spaces will come into their own thanks to this incredibly contemporary Superloon Floor Lamp. Taking advantage of all the creative benefits LED lighting offers, the impressively flat light source rests on a tripod base. Furthermore, it rotates up to 360° and has various levels of intensity so you can adjust the glow to suit. This truly unusual floor lamp deserves to take centre stage in your space. Toobe Floor Lamp By Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell This futuristic floor lamp from Kartell offers colour as well as illumination. Available in a selection of vibrant colours, these unusual floor lamps look great even when not in use. When illuminated, the lights cast a vibrant glow throughout the room with the hue dependent on the lamp’s colour. Charlie Floor Lamp By Heal’s Design Studio Impressively industrial and as timeless as it is contemporary, the Charlie Floor Lamp is inspired by both the past and present. Its antique brass detailing and modern tripod base wouldn’t look out of place in any space. When illuminated, the lamp casts subtle shadows thanks to the fretwork diffuser. Plus, the versatile lamp can be used as an uplight or directed downwards for a softer lighting option. Crystal Floor Lamp By Timothy Oulton Timothy Oulton’s Crystal Floor Lamp takes inspiration from late Georgian-era lights, transferring the traditional chandelier silhouette to a floor lamp. Part of a collection of unusual floor lamps, the design features all the usual hallmarks of a chandelier. This includes precision-cut crystals, candle lights and bobèche dishes, all contrasted with Timothy Oulton’s signature rustic aged metal patina.
