The Ambia is a 540mm table lamp with an adjustable head,finished in brass matt, in five colours including three pastels black, white, andblue, green and pink.

Pastels are the reason this exists

Blue, green and pink at this size are for bedrooms, nurseries and dressing tables where a black metallamp would be too severe. They are soft colours, not primary ones closer to a ceramic glazethan to a painted finish.

The head tilts, so it is useful as well as pretty

The shade angles, which means it can point down at a book on a bedside or up at a wall for ambientlight. Most decorative lamps this size are fixed.

E14, not E27 check before you buy globes

It takes a small-Edison-screw E14 globe, up to 25W, not the more common E27.They are not interchangeable, and it is the single most common mistake with a lamp this size.Globes are not supplied.

Where it works

• Bedsides, angled down for reading.
• Nurseries and children’s rooms, in the pastel finishes.
• Dressing tables and consoles.
• Small shelves, where a full-size lamp would crowd.
