Seraphine Modern Glass Mushroom Table Lamp

The VoriHaus Seraphine Glass Mushroom Table Lamp is less a light source than a piece of glass art that happens to switch on. The rounded cap and slim stem are formed in colored glass, so the light does not simply fall on the table below it, it moves through the body of the lamp and picks up the color on its way out. The result is a soft, warm pool of light rather than a bright working beam.

It suits the places where harsh lighting has no business being. Set it on a bedside table for a last-thing-at-night glow, on an entryway console so the first thing you see coming home is warm rather than white, or on a shelf in a study or bathroom where you want atmosphere more than illumination. Off during the day, the colored glass still earns its place, catching daylight and reading as an ornament instead of an appliance.

Glass is formed by hand and small internal bubbles are a normal characteristic of the material rather than a fault. VoriHaus selects each colorway to sit alongside cream and neutral interiors. Handle the shade by the base rather than the cap, keep the lamp on a stable flat surface away from edges, clean with a dry soft cloth only, and switch off at the socket before wiping.
