Fabric bedside lamps

Among the 53 products in the collection, two flagship silhouettes stand out: first choose the socket and the space available, E27 for a wide 28 cm cylindrical shade, E14 for a 16.5 cm conical shade mounted on a 60 cm stem. A fabric bedside lamp diffuses a soft halo near the bed, on a gold metal frame, for dry indoor use (IP20), with a bulb up to 40 W.

How does a fabric bedside lamp change the light of a bedroom?

A fabric shade diffuses the light instead of directing it: the halo is soft, with no dazzling point, which suits reading and the end of the evening. On these models, the fabric dresses a gold metal frame, with an IP20 protection rating and a bulb up to 40 W.

What kind of light does a fabric shade give?

The fabric filters the source over its entire surface: the room receives an enveloping light rather than a beam. Placed on a bedside table, the lamp lights the wall and the open book without lighting the face of the person sleeping.

Why pair fabric and gold metal on a bedside?

The fabric softens, the gold metal structures: the base and the stem stay thin and clear on the furniture. It is the pairing found in the Designix lighting catalogue, and in similar materials such as our linen shades.

Which bulb is best suited for a bedside lamp?

Choose the socket of your model: E27 for the cylindrical shade, E14 for the thin stem, with a power of up to 40 W. An LED bulb suits fabric because it gives off little heat. The IP20 rating indicates use in a dry interior, near the bed. The collection only offers table lamps, no wall version.

E14 or E27 socket: how to choose?

The socket depends on the fixture, not the bulb: the Dantello lamp takes an E27, the Belsamaro an E14. Check the product sheet before buying the bulb, then take an LED in the corresponding socket.

What bulb power should be respected under a fabric shade?

Stay within the power indicated by the fixture, i.e. 40 W here. Beyond that, the bulb heats up on contact with the fabric. An LED of the same socket lights with less heat, which ties in with LED lighting for the bedroom and design LED models.

Where to install a fabric bedside lamp: bedroom, office or living room?

These lamps are listed for the bedroom and the office. On a bedside table, they give a low and warm halo; on a desk, they add a supplementary light above the work surface. For a living room, a table lamp of a larger format is better.

How to light an office with a fabric table lamp?

The Belsamaro goes up to 60 cm: placed at the end of the work surface, it lights the keyboard and the documents without casting a shadow on the sheet. To complete, look at design lamps for the office and the bedroom solutions, such as our design table lamps for the bedroom.

Which lamps to choose for a living room?

A bedside lamp remains small for a living room: on a low piece of furniture, it gets lost. Turn to design lighting for the living room, with larger volumes and sometimes an adjustable light.

Which silhouette to choose: wide cylindrical shade or conical on a thin stem?

The two silhouettes play different roles: the 28 cm wide cylindrical shade occupies the bedside table and diffuses widely; the 16.5 cm diameter conical shade, mounted on a 60 cm stem, frees the surface and raises the light higher.

What height and width to plan for on a bedside table?

Allow for the real space of the surface: a 28 cm wide shade requires a wide table or chest of drawers, whereas a 16.5 cm diameter is satisfied with a shelf. Also let the cable run down freely behind the furniture.

Conical or cylindrical shade: what effect in the room?

The cylinder diffuses over its entire height and lights widely; the cone concentrates the light downwards and towards the top of the stem. For a slender silhouette that does not mask the wall, the conical on a thin stem remains the most discreet.

Italian design bedside lamp: what codes and how to recognise them?

We speak of Italian design for thin lines, worked metal and a textile shade that masks the source. These models take up its codes: gold frame, slender proportions, cylindrical or conical shade. The originality comes from the silhouette, not from an added decoration.

What makes a bedside lamp original?

A narrow base, a long stem, a clean shade: the Dantello plays the wide cylinder in gold metal, the Belsamaro the 60 cm thin stem. See also the gold and black finishes for the same spirit in other formats.

Modern or contemporary style: what difference on a bedside?

Modern goes for simple shapes and assertive volumes, contemporary for freer proportions and taut lines. The collection is divided between the two. Other options exist, such as the crystal version or the Nordic style.

How to connect several lamps to a single electrical supply?

Two table lamps are connected to the same socket via a suitable power strip, provided you stay within the power planned for each fixture, here 40 W. To add a fixed supply, an extra socket or to recess a cable, call an electrician.

On a desk, this setup allows you to combine a bedside lamp and a supplementary lamp without running a new cable. If you are looking for sober models in consumption, the LED office models are satisfied with a low-consumption bulb in the same socket.

Wood, driftwood or mushroom bedside lamp: how is it different from a fabric lamp?

A wood or driftwood lamp displays a raw and opaque material; a mushroom lamp is recognised by its round dome silhouette. Here, the shade is in fabric on a gold metal frame: the light is filtered and the silhouette stays clean, cylindrical or conical.

Mushroom bedside lamp or conical shade?

The mushroom rounds the light downwards in a compact volume; the 16.5 cm cone projects it further and frees the furniture. For a clean and bright bedside, compare with black metal bedside lamps.

Why choose fabric rather than wood in a bedroom?

Wood lets light out only through its openings, fabric diffuses it over its entire surface: the halo is more regular and sits better on the wall. If you like textured materials, the Nordic style offers other readings.

How to install and maintain a fabric table lamp?

Place the lamp on a stable surface, free the cable and position the shade below the line of sight to avoid glare. For maintenance, dust the fabric dry, without liquid product. The selection is guaranteed for 5 years, with the Designix customer service.

How to dust a fabric shade?

Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush, dry, without water or detergent: humidity marks the textile and can stain. Do it with the lamp off and cooled, holding the shade by its metal frame.

Where to place the lamp to avoid being dazzled?

The shade should come below the line of sight when you are sitting in bed. If the halo bothers you, change the bulb before changing the lamp: a weaker LED in the same socket is often enough, or look at adjustable lamps.

Tracked delivery, secure payment and returns: how does ordering work?

The order is made with secure payment, with tracked delivery and a possibility of return. The Designix customer service answers choice questions before purchase, particularly on the socket, the dimensions and the location of the lamp.

How is my delivery tracked?

Delivery is tracked: you know where your parcel is, from shipping to handover. If a model does not match the space planned on the furniture, the return remains possible, and you can compare with modern black models.

Who to ask a question before ordering?

The Designix customer service answers on the socket (E14 or E27), the width of the shade or the stem height. Tell them the space you have: it is what most often decides between the Dantello lamp with cylindrical shade and the Belsamaro lamp with thin stem.
