Lamps

Lighting you can move, place and feel - for side tables, corners, desks and floors.

Our curated lamps collection offers statement table lamps, floor lamps and desk lights that blend form and function. Whether you’re adding a soft glow to a reading nook, accenting a sideboard or lighting a workspace, these pieces bring texture, scale and personality to modern NZ interiors.

How to choose the right lamp

• For a side table, allow the shade to sit around 65–70 cm above the floor for comfortable eye-level lighting.

• For a reading corner, choose a floor lamp with adjustable arm or directional shade for task functionality.

• Choose warm 2700K–3000K LED to maintain a calm, inviting ambience in living rooms and bedrooms.

• Match the scale of the lamp to the furniture: smaller tables → smaller lamps; wide consoles → larger statement pieces.

• Consider dimming or multi-level lighting so you can shift between task light and ambient glow.

Styling tips

Pair textured lamps - ceramic, linen, timber bases - with soft furnishings and natural materials. In minimalist spaces, a sculptural floor lamp can act as an artwork. On a desk, make sure the lamp complements the workspace rather than dominating it.
