How to choose the right design table lamp
For indoor use on a bedside table or dining table
Consider the dimensions in relation to the space. EDG Plissé and Lily lamps (H 17–22 cm) are perfect on bedside tables and shelves: they don't take up space and diffused light is ideal in the evening. Bizzotto Etna (H 38 cm) have a stronger visual presence and are better suited to dining tables or consoles.
For outdoor use or hospitality
For terraces, gardens or restaurant tables, choose models with protection rating IP54 or IP65. Models with fabric shades (IP20) are for indoor use. Wireless cordless lamps eliminate the problem of external power outlets: you can position them on any table.
