Design, material and mood

A table light with a glass shade has the unique ability to play with light. It can bend light, soften it or reflect it. These properties can change the look and feel of an interior. Our collection includes everything from small glass table lamps perfect for a shelf or side table, to large table lamps with coloured or layered glass bases. Look for options with opal white glass shades that cast an even, gentle glow, or coloured glass table lamps that add warmth and atmosphere.

You’ll find pieces that echo Art Deco style in their symmetry and polished brass details, such as Bert Frank's Masina Table Lamp and Louis Poulsen's PH Glass Table Lamp. For a contemporary take, choose a design with clean lines and solid geometric forms like the AP17 Mist by &Tradition Many lamps pair mouth-blown or moulded glass with contrasting elements like timber, marble, metal. This creates a tactile balance of materials. Finishes range from smoked and ribbed to glossy or frosted, with plenty of models offering unique glass table lamp shades and lamp shades in white. A versatile choice, modern glass lamp shades work just as well in period interiors as they do in minimalist settings.

What to know when buying a glass table lamp

When choosing a glass table lamp, consider how it will interact with other surfaces in the room. Glass reflects and magnifies surrounding textures and colours, which makes it especially effective in layered lighting schemes. Glass table lamps are suitable for any room, allowing you to create the perfect ambience in the living room, bedroom, dining room and hallway. Choose a sculptural table lamp with glass detailing or a more pared-back glass base table lamp. Glass shades can also change the colour temperature of a lamp, so keep this in mind when browsing.

The designs in this range feature integrated LEDs, light bulbs and many allow for dimming. This lets you change the brightness based on the time of day and the setting. For bedside table lamps or lamps in high-use areas, stable bases, accessible switches and easy-to-clean shades are key. Glass is a robust and long-lasting material when cared for properly, and it holds its finish well over time.
