Table Lamps Design

Features and types

The collection is divided into five product families, each with distinct materials and functions.

Table lamps with pleated fabric shades — EDG Enzo De Gasperi

The Plissé series by EDG Enzo De Gasperi (H 22 cm, diameter 11.5 cm, IP20) revisits the classic bedside lamp in a contemporary style. The pleated fabric shade diffuses warm, soft light: perfect on a bedside table, on a low shelf or as a luminous centrepiece for Christmas dinners and year-end gatherings. The available finishes — sand (Sand), hazelnut (Hazelnut) and water — are neutral tones that coordinate beautifully with light or natural furnishings. Each piece comes in a gift box, making them ideal as gifts for housewarmings, birthdays and special occasions.

The Lily line by EDG Enzo De Gasperi (H 17.5 cm, diameter 11 cm, IP20) presents the same concept in a more compact format, available in Orange and White variants. Small decorative lamps with gift box included, suitable for shelves or secondary tables.

Rechargeable touch table lamps in metal — Bizzotto and L'Arcolaio

The Etna by Bizzotto (H 38 cm) is the most versatile model in the selection: metal structure, integrated LED, available in white, black, brown, sage, taupe and bronze finishes. The touch system on the lamp body manages on/off and multi-level dimming. The bronze finish fits well in spaces with classical-contemporary furnishings; white and black adapt to minimalist interiors.

L'Arcolaio also offers its own line of rechargeable touch table lamps IP54. The Round Pro (H 38 cm, 10×10 cm, IP54) is available in bronzed brown, olive and black finishes: thanks to the IP54 protection rating it can be used on terraces and verandas. The Flared Pro (H 38 cm, 10×10 cm) is available in black and olive finishes. The Square Pro (H 38 cm, 10×10 cm) offers a square profile base in the same range. For those seeking a compact and economical format, the Diamante New (H 25 cm, diameter 12 cm) is the most essential alternative in the line.

Decorative table lamps in blown glass — EDG Enzo De Gasperi

The Aura by EDG Enzo De Gasperi (H 20 cm, diameter 15 cm) uses a mauve coloured blown glass diffuser for a chromatic effect suited to living rooms or bedrooms. Recharging is via USB. Among the autumn 2026 new arrivals are the two references from the Fungo Glossy range by EDG Enzo De Gasperi: Brown version (H 34 cm, Ø 21 cm, IP20) and Olive version (H 40 cm, Ø 26 cm, IP20), both for indoor use, with a bulbous shape and glossy finish.

Decorative LED table lamps — WD LifeStyle and Candle Touch

The WD LifeStyle neon signs (23×23 cm, in plexiglass) bring a more playful and contemporary register to this collection. Available in Cat and Dachshund designs, they are decorative lamps ideal for a bedroom, studio or personal space. The Candle Touch series by L'Arcolaio (100×295 mm) is available in Silver, Pink, Green and White finishes: an essential columnar format with touch control, ideal also as a luminous place marker for styled tables.

High-capacity table lamps — Zafferano and Sompex

Zafferano and Sompex represent the brands with the most advanced charging technology in the catalogue. The Zafferano table lamps include models with colour temperature control and autonomy up to 36 hours. Sompex brings Nordic design to the collection in wireless rechargeable lamps, suitable for both domestic use and restaurant and B&B tables. For more information on rechargeable options with maximum autonomy, also consult the dedicated section on LED table lamps.

How to choose the right designer table lamp

For the living room and special dinners

On a dining table or entrance console, a lamp between 38 and 45 cm in height maintains balanced proportions. The Etna by Bizzotto (H 38 cm) in bronze or taupe finish is suited to living rooms with neutral or warm furnishings. For Christmas dinners or evening gatherings, the Aura by EDG Enzo De Gasperi in mauve blown glass creates a point of colour without weighing down the table.

For the bedroom and bedside table

For the bedside table, a compact lamp with soft downward light diffusion is advisable. The Plissé and Lily by EDG Enzo De Gasperi (H 17.5–22 cm, fabric shade) are designed for this purpose: warm light, contained silhouette, no visible cables in the wireless version. The Diamante New by L'Arcolaio (H 25 cm) is the most affordable alternative for the same function.

For terraces, verandas and small gardens

Choose a model with IP54 or higher protection rating. The Round Pro by L'Arcolaio (IP54) in bronzed brown, olive and black finishes resist external moisture. EDG models with fabric shade (IP20), such as Plissé and Lily, are exclusively for indoor use. To complete outdoor lighting with other elements, also see the LED light chains, ideal for garden tables and terraces.

For weddings, Christmas arrangements and receptions

The lamps in gift boxes — Plissé and Lily by EDG Enzo De Gasperi — work well as luminous place markers or centrepieces for weddings and communions. The Candle Touch by L'Arcolaio in Silver, Pink and White create atmosphere on tables arranged for ceremonies in the dining room. For Christmas dinners and party buffets, the Brown and Olive Fungo Glossy by EDG Enzo De Gasperi add a warm decorative accent, with the bulbous shape and glossy finish that stands out even with the lamp switched off. To explore coordinated lighting accessories, you can also browse the Wilmà section with Mini, Small, Studio and Rainbow formats.

For the range with colour temperature control, Zafferano lamps offer models with advanced light selection. You can also browse the Wilmà selection for essential geometric lines.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a designer table lamp and a standard lamp?

Design lamps stand out for specific materials — coloured blown glass, metal with bronze or gold finish, pleated fabric shades — and for integrated functions: touch dimmer, USB or wireless charging, lithium batteries. They are not just sources of light, but recognisable decorative elements even when the lamp is switched off.

Do wireless LED table lamps also work outdoors?

It depends on the IP protection rating declared by the manufacturer. Models with EDG fabric shade (IP20) are exclusively for indoor use. For terrace or veranda choose models with IP54 or higher: the Round Pro by L'Arcolaio have IP54 and are designed to resist moisture. Check the technical specifications in the product sheet before purchasing.

How do wireless lamps in the catalogue recharge?

Rechargeable models use USB Type-C cable or wireless contact base. Autonomy varies by model: Zafferano models reach up to 36 hours at reduced intensity. Full recharge typically takes between 3 and 7 hours; details are given in the respective product sheets.

Are fabric shade models suitable as gifts or for ceremony arrangements?

Yes. The EDG Plissé and Lily lamps are packaged in gift boxes, as stated in their product sheets. They are suitable as gifts for the home on the occasion of housewarmings, birthdays or special occasions, but also as a luminous centrepiece or place marker for weddings, communions and Christmas dinners.

Can I adjust the light intensity?

The touch dimmer is present on specific models: the Bizzotto Etna (H 38 cm) allows you to adjust intensity on multiple levels by touching the lamp body. Also the Square Pro and Flared Pro by L'Arcolaio have touch control. Not all models in the catalogue have this function: check the product sheet of the individual item.

Does L'Arcolaio ship lamps outside Italy?

Yes. L'Arcolaio, opened in 2000 by Sebastiano Marino in Pignataro Interamna (FR), ships throughout Italy and to 21 European countries. It is also possible to collect your order directly at the 5,000 m² retail point just minutes from the Cassino junction of the A1 motorway, open Monday–Saturday 8:30–19:00 and Sunday 10:00–19:00.
