A thick ring of clear glass held out horizontally on a slim gold stem, with the light source sitting inside the ring rather than behind a shade. Lit, it reads as a floating band of glow with the glass edge catching the light all the way round. Unlit, it is a piece of sculpture and the glass goes quiet.
The colour lives in the base. A glossy dark green enamelled dome, weighted, with the same green picked up again in the ball finial sitting on top of the glass. That repetition at the top and bottom is what holds the shape together, and it is why the lamp reads as designed rather than assembled.
The light is built in and steps through three tones, a warm 3000K, a neutral 4000K and a cool 6000K, with stepless touch dimming across all three. So it goes from a low amber you can leave on through dinner up to something you can actually work by, without changing anything but where you put your finger.
Size: 18 cm across the glass ring and 34 cm tall. Tall for its footprint, so it lights the space around it rather than just the surface underneath, while taking up less room on a table than most lamps of that height.
Power: rechargeable and cord free in use, so it can sit in the middle of a dining table or move from room to room without a cable trailing off the edge.
Materials: a clear glass shade on a plated metal stem with an enamelled metal base.
Care: wipe the glass with a soft cloth, damp if you need it, then dry it straight away. Use a dry cloth on the gold stem and the enamelled base, since moisture left sitting on plating will mark it. Keep abrasive cloths and any cleaner containing solvent away from all three.
