Nova Concord Bone Porcelain Table Lamp, 23"

Concord Bone Porcelain Table Lamp, 23" is a table lamp that is scaled for a tabletop and gives the room a warm, finished look.

The light is 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light. It uses a 4-way rotary on the socket.

The Design Story

Nova opened in a Brooklyn factory in 1923 and now draws from Venice Beach, California. The line is what Nova calls California Modern: furniture-grade wood, metal and glass shaped into lamps meant to be lived with.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from porcelain/steel, bone porcelain, and steel, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 30 in tall, 16 in wide, and 16 in deep, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 2700K warm light, CRI 95+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. The single finish is chosen to sit with most palettes.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. Plug it into a regular outlet. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1500 lumens from a 14W LED, the same punch as an old 100W incandescent, without the heat. Incandescents read a touch warmer and softer, but they run hot and burn out faster. Switching later is easy: keep the same base, and choose a dimmable, flicker-free LED rated 2700K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. Nova has a printable guide for this model: assembly instructions (PDF). It is worth a quick read before the box shows up.

Details and Dimensions

Heads up on size: Nova's name for this one says 23 in, but its spec sheet measures 30 in overall. Go by the spec sheet number when you check ceiling height.

Where It Shines

It looks best on a nightstand, on a console or sideboard, or on a desk or end table. It is not the right pick for anyone who wants floor-level or overhead light, because a table lamp lights its own corner and not the whole room.
