The Matias is a 400mm table lamp ametal outer ring cradling a mouth-blown glass sphere, balanced on a machined metalcylinder in black with antique gold and opal matt glass.

A ring, a sphere and a cylinder

Three primary forms and nothing else. The ring holds the glass without enclosing it; the cylinderbalances the composition beneath. It is a deliberately geometric lamp, and the reason it sits in amodern room without competing with anything.

Nothing on it moves

Worth being plain about, because an earlier version of this page said otherwise:there are no adjustable hinges and no adjustable head. The Matias is a fixedcomposition. If you want an adjustable lamp, the Jeremy or Kylan will serve you.

Opal matt glows in every direction

The 150mm sphere diffuses fully, so the lamp gives ambient light tothe room rather than a directed pool. It is atmosphere rather than task light.

Machined, not cast

The metal cylinder is machined turned to a precise finish rather than cast and coated. Atclose range on a side table that difference in surface is visible.

E27 to 25W, not supplied

Behind opal matt glass a plain warm globe is all you need. There is aninline switch on the 1,800mm cable.

Where it works

• Side tables and consoles.
• Bedsides, as ambient light.
• Shelves, where the geometry reads as sculpture.
• Modern and minimalist interiors.
