Lantern Table Lamps

Although it has the look of a traditional lantern, the NH1217 Table Lamp by Artemide has an updated modern flair and an extensive versatility for lighting needs. Created by Lydon Neri and Rossana Hu, the lamp’s Brass handle allows for the hand-blown Glass sphere to sit up on a table or be hung from the wall or ceiling. An easily accessible switch on the cord controls the LED light source, creating the perfect ambiance for indoor settings.

Complex nature. The Berlin Table Lamp by Jonathan Adler is inspired by the modern architecture of Pierre Chareau. Intersecting metal rectangles form a base for its milk glass lantern to create a unique sculptural design that adds sophistication and visual interest to a contemporary living space, office or bedroom. Resembling a piece of abstract art, this decorative portable light makes a statement as it glows atop a chest of drawers or a console table.

Named after the Spanish word for “basket,” the Santa & Cole Cestita Table Lamp is the younger sibling in the Cesta family of portable lanterns. A cherry wood frame cradles a plump white glass shade, evenly diffusing warm light around the fixture, including direct up light through the opening at the top. The adjustable handle makes moving Cestita easy; place this small lantern on table tops to soften the mood and create a warm and cozy environment.

Inspired by fishing boat lanterns, the Santorini Outdoor Floor Lamp is a dynamic beacon of light with customizable shades and a portable grey metal floor base. After hanging the Santorini pendant from the horizontal arm, the lengthy cord can then be wrapped around the structure and plugged in, easily moving the fixture around exterior environments. Two shades (one small and one large in the same color) are included with the pendant, and can be configured to change the look and distribution of light; you can decide the number of shades, direction and arrangement on the cylindrical white diffuser part of the glass.

The Robert Abbey Claridge Lantern Table Lamp designed by Jonathan Adler creates engaging illumination in a design that expertly balances large over small for delightful contrast. The Claridge Lantern Table Lamp features silk dupioni shade, Lead crystal body and Polished Nickel finish.

The Nelson™ Bubble Lamps® by Herman Miller® are considered icons of mid-century modern design since their introduction in 1952, featuring the famed spray-coated plastic material that hugs a steel wire frame. The Nelson Lantern Tripod Table Lamp is a white cylindrical shade with a Brushed Nickel tripod base, and is a beautiful object when the fixture is lit or unlit. The Bubble Lamps are so emblematic of mid-century modern design that they reside in the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York.

Epitomizing modern lighting, the Koncept Mr. GO! Portable Table Lamp is a sleek portable option that functions just as well on the go as it does on a cozy night stand. The ultra minimalist silhouette features a curved light panel and arched housing that give the piece a natural handle.

A standard USB port charges the built-in battery as well as functions as a mobile charging device for your phone.

A tranquil light fills the Foscarini Rituals XL Table Lamp, enhancing the mood of the space it touches once illuminated. A large orb created by a highly technical process, the traditional Venetian blown glass has a profile similar to Japanese rice paper lanterns. A mold with concentric rings imprints texture on the glass, then immersing the glass in acid gives the chalky finish. The cocoon shade manages to be substantial yet delicate in the soft light it produces.

Echoing the voluptuous contours and textural consistency of Japanese rice paper lanterns, the Foscarini Rituals 1 Table Lamp gracefully replicates those time-tested artisanal qualities using hand-blown glass. The striated ridges are achieved through a special grinding process, while a subsequent acid bath immersion results in the plush plaster-like aesthetic. The considered approach creates a celestial chiaroscuro effect, resulting in warm, soft illumination.

The Cesta Table Lamp, a 1964 Miguel Mila design for Santa & Cole, finds its roots in the ancient traditions of a magic lantern.

An unexpected combination. The Shepherd Table Lamp by Currey & Company evokes the shape of an Asian paper lantern, yet is fashioned from earthy terracotta for a rustic, handcrafted look.

The Santa & Cole Asa Table Lamp is Miguel Mila’s version of a portable lantern, featuring a white methacrylate shade and metal structure originally designed in 1961.

A metal “button” matches the metal structure, which is actually a pulling device that turns the light on or off.

The Eglo Rivato Table Lamp is a minimal piece featuring a glass cylinder accented with metallic details.

The Contardi Lighting Muse Lantern Floor Lamp inspires warmth and comfort.

The Carpyen Sasha Plus Outdoor Floor Lamp brings the familiarity of pleated fabrics and broad illumination to exterior settings, featuring a tall, portable drum shade with a versatile plug-in installation. The internal light source is fully enclosed with a polyethylene diffuser while the exterior shade is composed of a micro-perforated lace to help protect the fixture from the elements. Supplied with almost 30 feet of cord, the Sasha Plus is also outfitted with a convenient handle at the top, placing the large lantern in outdoor dining or lounging areas without requiring close proximity to a power source.

Designed in 1955 by Ilmari Tapiovaara, the Santa & Cole Maija LED Floor Lamp reinvents the original lamp with a new matte white finish and an innovative LED light source. Stacked layers of metal create a screen of filtered light, directing the light outward while eliminating any glare in the profile. The end result resembles an accordion lantern, helping to create a soft source of comforting light.

Highly sculptural and tall in stature, the In-Es Art Design Tank 2 Floor Lamp is a different take on a floor lantern. Made from a special blend of resin and fiberglass called Nebulite®, the scattered and fibrous texture has an almost papier-mache quality that creates veins of light and shadow once lit. The shape comes to a point at the top, reducing the amount of light that shines through, shining the brightest at the base of the fixture.
