The Design Story

TOV Furniture designs pieces that bring boutique-hotel character into everyday homes, and the Positano lamp follows that approach. The material does the talking: handmade papier-mâché gives it a light, sculptural, one-of-a-kind form. Skillfully Handmade (TOV).

Why You'll Love It

On a nightstand or side table its shade lands near seated eye level, so the light reaches the page without glaring in your eyes. The papier-mâché shade softens the bulb into a warm, diffused glow. The switch sits on the cord, so you can turn it on without reaching under the shade. It is LED-compatible, so a cool-running, low-energy bulb gives the same glow. With 2 options to choose from, it is easy to match it to your sofa, bedding or wall color.

Made for Real Life

Keep it looking fresh: switch it off and unplug it, then let the bulb cool before you clean it; dust the papier-mâché with a soft, dry brush or cloth and keep it dry: a barely damp cloth at most; wipe metal with a dry microfiber cloth and skip abrasive cleaners.

Where It Shines

It shines in bedrooms, living rooms and entryways, on a nightstand, a side table or a console. Pair two on a console, a dresser or either side of the bed, and use a warm (2700K) bulb for a cozy glow (our advice).

Will the Positano Striped Papier Mache Table Lamp suit my nightstand or side table?

On a typical 24–28" nightstand or side table: yes, the shade lands near seated eye level, so the light reaches a book without glare (our guide). 20" tall; the bottom of the shade sits about 11" above the table. Our guide puts the bottom of the shade near seated eye level (about 38–42" off the floor; lamp and table together about 58–64"), so it suits a 24–28" nightstand or side table, a 28–30" desk and a 30–36" console, dresser or buffet (shade bottom about 35–47" off the floor). Its 13.6" shade suits a tabletop about 14" wide or more (our guide).

What bulbs does the Positano Striped Papier Mache Table Lamp take, and how bright is it?

It takes one A19-shape bulb with an E26 base, up to 40W LED (TOV). It is LED-compatible (TOV), and an LED uses a fraction of the power for the same light. Bulbs are not included (TOV), so order a bulb with it. With the brightest bulb TOV allows (40W LED) it gives about 3400 lumens (our estimate from standard bulb ratings): bright, room-filling light (our guide: about 450 lumens = a 40W-equivalent bulb, 800 = 60W-equivalent; reading is comfortable at about 450–800 lumens at the lamp). TOV does not list it as dimmable. Never exceed the maximum wattage TOV lists.
