Collection: Side Table Lamps

Modern and Minimal

Modern lamps work by subtraction. They have one strong shape and one honest material, and nothing extra competing for attention.

• Tube Top Table Lamp by Pablo: Peter Stathis's 2006 design pulls a polyester mesh sleeve over an acrylic body, so the whole lamp glows as one soft column. The Small is 9.5" wide and 14" tall, with one 60W G16 bulb included. The Medium is 15" wide and 21" tall, with two 60W bulbs included. Finishes are Charcoal/Charcoal, White/Char, and White/Clear in both sizes, plus Silver/Clear in the Small. It has a 6' cord and is UL listed. Mood: A lantern drawn with one continuous line.
• Merlin Table Lamp by Jamie Young: A 2024 design in wood and iron: a compact 16.5" dome shade sits on a slender column, and the full lamp stands 29.75" tall. The dome sends light down into a controlled pool rather than out into the room. It takes one E26 bulb up to 60W, not included, and has a 96" cord. Mood: A modern office desk lamp, softened for the living room.
• Chronicle Table Lamp by Jamie Young: A narrow marble base anchors a slim metal stem with antique brass accents, under a small 5.75" linen shade. The lamp stands 19.5" tall and 11.5" wide. It takes one E26 bulb up to 25W, not included, and has a 96" cord. Mood: Library-desk poise, sized for a tight corner.

Traditional and Vintage-Inspired

Traditional lamps earn their place through material and proportion: a turned urn, a carved column, a glazed vessel. These three keep the classic forms and edit out the fuss.

• Classical Urn Form Table Lamp by Visual Comfort Signature: Chapman & Myers's trophy-shaped brass urn in Antique-Burnished Brass or Antique Nickel. It stands 24" tall under a 15" shade, either a tailored Black or a natural paper Silk Pleat. Two E26 sockets take 40W bulbs, not included, and a pull chain turns them on. It is ETL listed and Title 20 compliant, with a generous 120" cord. Mood: A library lamp with a little swagger.
• Lineham Table Lamp by Visual Comfort Signature: AERIN's smooth column base comes in Alabaster, Crystal with Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, or Crystal with Polished Nickel, under a linen shade. The Small is 16" tall with a 10.5" shade and an included 3W LED. The Large stands 29.5" to 33" tall with an 18" shade and two E26 sockets for 60W bulbs, not included. It is dimmable, and select versions are on display at our San Francisco showroom. Mood: Stone and crystal, polished into calm.
• Ridgefield Table Lamp by Hudson Valley Lighting: A 2024 cerulean blue ceramic base with a speckled glaze that catches light like grains of sand. It has aged brass hardware and a tapered linen shade 19" across, and the lamp stands 26.5" tall. It takes one E26 A19 LED, not included, and has a 120" cord. Mood: Coastal pottery, given a proper shade.

Compact Accents

Not every table is a sofa table. Nightstands, bookshelves, consoles, and the narrow ledge by the door need lamps that fit the surface without looking like an afterthought.

• Seltzer Table Lamp by Jamie Young: A 2023 design with a handcrafted glass base full of suspended bubbles, in Blue or White. It is just 11.5" tall with a 7" shade and weighs 2 lbs, so it fits almost anywhere. It takes one E26 bulb up to 25W, not included, and has a 96" cord. Mood: Carbonation, caught mid-fizz.
• Fanny Table Lamp by Visual Comfort Studio: Hable's elemental ceramic form comes in three profiles. The Small is 14" tall with a 6" shade, in Matte White or Rough Black ceramic. The Wide is 22.62" tall and the Slim is about 28" to 29" tall, both under a 15" shade, in Matte White, Rough Black, or Matte Concrete, with Frosted Anglia also offered on the Slim. Every size includes a 9W LED bulb at 800 lumens, 90 CRI, and 3000K. It is Title 24 compliant, and select versions are on display at our San Francisco showroom. Mood: One shape, sized for every surface.
• Dawkins Table Lamp by Jamie Young: A low, rounded ceramic base, like a small studio vessel, under a 9.5" linen shade. The whole lamp is 12.5" tall and weighs 2 lbs. It takes one E26 A19 bulb up to 60W, not included, and has a 96" cord. Mood: Earthen, grounded, and easy to place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much light does a small lamp actually give?

Less than you might expect. The Small Lineham's included LED runs 140 to 300 lumens, which is accent light, not reading light. The Fanny's included bulb gives 800 lumens, enough to read by. If a lamp will be the main light beside a bed or chair, look for room for at least an 800-lumen bulb.

Does the shade material change the light?

Yes, a lot. Linen and paper shades, like those on the Lineham, Ridgefield, and Classical Urn, glow and spread light softly in every direction. A metal dome like the Merlin's blocks the sides and sends a focused pool downward. The Tube Top's mesh sleeve makes the whole lamp glow evenly.
