Precision Table Lamp

A dark bronze cylinder pierced with rows of tiny holes, glowing from within.

The Precision Table Lamp is made of bronze and frosted glass. Perforated metal lamps draw on a long tradition of pierced lanterns, where light escapes through patterned openings and dapples the surroundings. This one is a straight tube on a flat round base, the upper two-thirds punched with an even grid of small holes, the lower third left solid. The bronze finish is deep and nearly black, with warm light showing through the perforations from the frosted glass inside. It is 16.25 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

A small column, dotted with good intentions.
