Daniela Table Lamp

A column of cut crystal, faceted until there is no flat side left to rest the eye on.

The Daniela Table Lamp is a Ralph Lauren design in crystal and silk. Cut-crystal lamps draw on the long European tradition of faceted glass, where every cut turns a clear mass into a constant play of reflections. Three round crystals, each cut into a dense pattern of facets, stack one above another between narrow ribbed rings. The base is a faceted crystal disc, and the bell shade in cream silk has gently paneled sides. It stands 32 inches high and adjusts down to 28, with a shade 21 inches across and a dimmer socket.

Formal, but it still knows how to catch the light at a party.
