The Celsus TLL is a 560mm table lamp pairing acast stone base with a natural-toned fabric shade in soft beige.

Cast stone, which our record does not mention

The base is cast stone, not painted metal or resin and our product recordlists the material as Fabric, describing the shade and missing the lamp. The stone iswhat gives it 4.9kg of genuine mass, acool, faintly textured surface that reads as material rather than finish, and theorganic warmth the copy is reaching for. A metal base painted the same colour wouldfeel entirely different in the hand.

A wide shade on a narrow base

The proportions are worth noticing: a 350 230mm shade above a130mm base. That is a deliberately top-heavy silhouette, and itonly works because the stone provides the weight low down. Visually it gives abroad, generous pool of light from a footprint that takes almost no space on aconsole.

Fabric over stone the contrast is the composition

Soft above, hard below. The shade diffuses through its sides and throws light up anddown, so the lamp glows while the base stays a solid quiet mass. It is the same logicas a ceramic lamp, in a more contemporary material.

It is the large one there is a smaller Celsus

Ask us if 560mm is more than the space wants.

Plug in and use it

ClassII, double insulated, no earth required, on an1,800mm cable. The old page said an electrician was required; that isboilerplate from a hard-wired fitting.

One E27 globe to 25W, not supplied

Behind fabric a plain warm globe is all you need a decorative filament wouldnever be seen. Dimming is globe dependent: our record says it does not dim, and therecord is wrong. Fit a dimmable globe and use a plug-in or inline dimmer.

Where it works

• Consoles and hall tables the narrow base takes little room.
• Bedsides, in a pair.
• Beside a reading chair.
• Rooms with natural materials, where cast stone belongs.

Questions

What is the base made of?

Cast stone not painted metal or resin. Our record lists the material as “Fabric”, which describes the shade and misses the lamp. The stone is what gives it 4.9kg of mass and a cool, faintly textured surface.

Will it tip with such a wide shade?

No that is what the stone is for. A 350mm shade on a 130mm base only works because the weight sits low down.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It is double insulated with an 1,800mm cable. The old page said otherwise, which was boilerplate from a hard-wired fitting.

Can I dim it?

Yes, with a dimmable globe on a plug-in or inline dimmer. Our record says no; the datasheet says globe dependent and is right.

Which globe should I fit?

A plain warm E27 up to 25W. Behind fabric a decorative filament would never be seen.

Is there a smaller version?

Yes this is the large Celsus at 560mm. Ask us if that is more than the space wants.

How much room does it take on a console?

Very little the base is only 130mm across, which is the point of the narrow-base, wide-shade proportion.
