Axel - Black & Wooden Table Lamp

The Axel combines a black powder-coated metal base and joints with a natural wood upright, creating a clear contrast between dark and natural finishes. Its shade is made from PVC covered with fabric and matches the black elements of the lamp. The straightforward shape keeps the design modern without appearing overly decorative.

At approximately 18 cm wide, 20 cm deep and 66 cm high, the lamp has a slim footprint with enough height to work comfortably on a desk, console or larger bedside table. The adjustable shade can be repositioned vertically along the stem, adding a practical element to the design.

This table lamp uses one replaceable E27 bulb, which is not included. LED E27 bulbs can be used, giving you a choice of brightness and colour temperature to suit the room. The manufacturer specifies a traditional maximum of 60W and recommends an 8W E27 LED lamp.

The fabric-covered shade helps reduce direct sideways glare while its open construction provides both direct and indirect light distribution. Moving the shade higher or lower on the wooden stem allows the position of the light source to be adjusted for reading, desk work or general supplementary lighting.

The Axel has an on/off switch on its PVC power cable. It is specified as non-dimmable and does not include a built-in dimming control.
