The Parola is a 400mm table lamp mouth-blown glass sitting on anoversized metal tube that hides the light source in black/amber, gold/smoke ornickel/clear.

The tube hides the globe entirely

This is the design. The metal cylinder is deliberately oversized so the globe sits insideit, out of sight, and only the glass above is lit. You never see a bulb, from any angle which is why it works on a low side table where most lamps put the globe at eye level.

Three glass and metal pairings

Black with amber is the warmest amber glass tints the light golden as itpasses. Gold with smoke is the moodiest, transmitting least.Nickel with clear is the brightest and coolest. Same lamp, three genuinely differentlights.

A 1960s form

Simple cylinder, simple sphere, no ornament. It is a period reference done straight, which is why itsits in a contemporary room without looking like a reproduction.

Mouth-blown, so each differs

The 250mm glass is blown by hand slight variation in form andwall thickness is inherent to the process.

E27 to 25W, not supplied

Because the globe is hidden, a plain warm globe is all you need there is nopoint paying for a decorative filament nobody will see.

Where it works
