A hemispherical shade set on a slim cylindrical stem. No fabric, no glass: metal throughout, from base to dome. The shade is solid, opaque, turned downwards. The light does not come out at the sides, nor upwards: it leaves only through the lower opening, in a concentrated cone. This metal mushroom table lamp produces a directional light, set on a surface, with no ambient spread.
The metal is lacquered in a matt finish. The dome absorbs the light in the room rather than reflecting it: the surface stays dense, without a sheen. The cylindrical stem is proportioned to the shade, neither so slim that it looks fragile nor so thick that it weighs the silhouette down. The whole thing holds together through its consistency of material: one metal, one shade from bottom to top, with no visual break. The joint between the stem and the dome is clean, with no ornament.
On a desk, the small size lights the working surface in a tight cone, with no glare from the side: the dome blocks the light within your field of vision. On a bedside table, the large size covers a wider reading area. In a living room, set on a console or a low shelf, it lights downwards and concentrates the light on the objects beneath it rather than on the whole room. This is localised, precise lighting that marks out an area rather than an ambient lamp for the room.
Size governs the visual impact on the surface that holds it as much as the area lit. The small model, around 38cm (15.0") tall, suits narrow bedside tables, compact desks, alcoves and spaces where the lamp has to take up little room. It lights a tight radius, enough for a book or a keyboard. The large model, around 50cm (19.7"), holds its own on wide desks, deep consoles or double bedside tables where the area to light is larger. The wider hemispherical shade covers a bigger surface from the same height.
Matt black is the most assertive colour. The dark dome and the slim stem create a graphic silhouette on pale surfaces: white marble, pale wood, white lacquer. In an interior of dark shades, it merges into the whole and lets the light stand out on its own. White does the opposite: the lamp disappears against pale surfaces, almost absent during the day. The gold leans towards brushed brass. In an interior that already mixes warm metal elements, it fits in as a coherent detail rather than an addition.
Being metal all through is a choice of material with concrete consequences. The lamp is heavy; it does not get shifted by accident. It does not age the way fabric or paper does, and the lacquer stays stable over time. It does not filter light at the sides: all the bulb's output comes out downwards. This is a lighting tool with a strong visual presence.
To look at other table and desk lamps suited to workspaces and bedrooms, the collection floor lamps and table lamps brings together models in metal, glass and natural materials, so you can compare shapes and types of spread against the use you have in mind.
A lamp with a translucent or fabric shade spreads in every direction: downwards, to the sides, sometimes upwards. The room brightens around the lamp. A metal mushroom lamp with an opaque dome works differently: all the light comes out of the bottom in a cone. The area directly under the lamp is brightly lit. Thirty centimetres (11.8") away, the light falls off. This is precision lighting, suited to a defined working surface, to focused reading, to an object to be picked out on a console.
This way of lighting suits home offices in particular, where the computer screen is close by: the dome blocks the side light that would cause reflections on the screen. The light goes down onto the keyboard and the desk, not into your eyes or onto the screen surface. That is a concrete advantage lamps with an open or translucent shade cannot offer in this setup.
This metal design table lamp works in interiors that are happy with dense, built objects, with no ornament. It needs no particular context to exist: black on a white desk, white on an oak desk, gold on grey marble. In each case the shape stays the same. It is the material and the colour that adapt, not the silhouette.

The house of Lumiris
Lumiris was born from a simple conviction: a light is not an accessory, it is a presence. It changes the way a room is read, softens an evening, turns an ordinary space into a refuge. We founded this house for those who refuse to choose between beauty and longevity.
Every piece in our catalogue is chosen for its material : alabaster, travertine, marble, solid wood — for the character that is its own, and for its ability to carry the years without ageing. A curated collection sourced from specialist manufacturing partners. Everything is made to last.

Which light should you choose for a dining room?
keyboard_arrow_downA dining room calls for lighting that is decorative and comfortable in equal measure. The pendant light remains the most common choice, because it draws the eye to the table and creates a warm atmosphere during meals. Over a rectangular table, a linear model or several pendants hung in a row spread the light more evenly. Over a round table, a single central pendant in glass, travertine, alabaster or metal works beautifully. The hanging height should light the table without dazzling your guests, with a warmer light to keep the mood convivial.
How do you choose the right light for a living room?
keyboard_arrow_downThe right choice depends on the size of the room, the ceiling height and the mood you are after. In a generous living room, a central pendant or a cluster of pendants gives the space structure and provides a pleasant general light. A wall light completes the scheme, creating a softer atmosphere beside a sofa, a bookcase or a reading corner. Plug-in wall lights suit relaxing corners particularly well, because they add targeted light without any change to your electrical installation. At Lumiris, models in alabaster, glass, wood, travertine or metal let you match the lighting to the style of your interior.
What does the colour temperature of a light mean?
keyboard_arrow_downColour temperature describes the tint of the light given off by the bulb or the LED. A warm light, around 2700K to 3000K, creates a soft, welcoming atmosphere, ideal for a living room, a bedroom or a dining room. A neutral light, around 4000K, suits kitchens, home offices or hallways. A cool light gives a whiter, more functional result. This choice shapes the mood of a room directly, even when the design of the light itself stays exactly the same.
How do you know whether a light will light a room well enough?
keyboard_arrow_downLight output is measured in lumens, not in watts alone. The higher the lumen figure, the more strongly the light shines. In a living space, plan for enough general light first, then layer in secondary lighting such as a wall light or a second pendant. A large room may need several light sources to avoid dark corners. Decorative lights in alabaster, glass, paper or fabric sometimes cast a softer light, which makes them perfect for atmosphere but less suited to being the only source of light in a room.
What is the difference between an integrated LED and a replaceable bulb?
keyboard_arrow_downAn integrated LED is built straight into the light fitting and often allows a slimmer, more modern or more sculptural design. It offers good light efficiency and low energy consumption. A replaceable bulb gives you more freedom to choose the brightness, the colour temperature and the type of bulb to suit your own preferences. Before buying, it is worth checking the product page for the type of light source, the compatible wattage and any options available. This detail affects both upkeep and long-term use.
What are the delivery times for your lighting?
keyboard_arrow_downOrders are generally processed within 1 to 2 working days once payment is confirmed. Once dispatched, delivery usually takes 6 to 8 working days depending on the destination and the route your parcel takes. The total time is therefore typically 7 to 10 working days.
