Visual Comfort Bolete Table Lamp | Kelly Wearstler | Murano-Inspired Seeded Glass | Cream or Smoke

The Bolete Table Lamp — Kelly Wearstler's full-scale expression of the Bolete collection — is a commanding sculptural floor presence built entirely from hand-blown seeded glass in the tradition of Murano's centuries-old artisan glassmakers. At 18 inches wide and 16.3 inches tall, the oversized dome shade sits directly atop a matching cylindrical glass base with no lampshade, no hardware frame, and no visual interruption — the entire form reads as a single glowing glass volume when lit. The hand-blown seeded glass is available in Seeded Cream, a warm opaline white, or Seeded Smoke, a cool grey-tinted variant that shifts the ambient mood toward something moodier and more atmospheric. Both are defined by the tiny trapped air bubbles that scatter the interior LED light in every direction, making the lamp radiate rather than direct.

An integrated 10.8W LED module at 2700K sits at the heart of the fixture, producing exceptionally warm, candlelike light with a 90 CRI. The three-step touch dimmer on the 72-inch black fabric cord puts three distinct light levels — soft glow, medium, and full brightness — at the user's fingertips without the need for a wall dimmer or smart home system. Hand Rubbed Antique Brass hardware, deliberately minimal, connects the glass components and anchors the cord. At this scale, the Bolete becomes more than a table lamp — it is a centerpiece object.

The Bolete is ideally placed on large consoles, dining sideboards, dressing tables, or statement side tables where the full dome silhouette can be read at standing height. Its omnidirectional translucency means it contributes ambient light to the surrounding space as well as decorative presence. Pair with the smaller Bolete Accent Lamp in the same glass color for a collection-driven installation across multiple surfaces in a room, or use a single Bolete as a standalone sculptural element against a dark or textured wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the full-size Bolete different from the Bolete Accent?
A: The Bolete is the larger statement version — 18"W × 16.3"H versus the Accent's 10.3"W × 9.6"H. Both share the same hand-blown seeded glass, the same 2700K LED module, and the same 3-step touch dimmer, but the larger scale makes the Bolete more suitable as a standalone focal piece on sideboards, consoles, or large side tables rather than a nightstand accent.

Q: Is the seeded glass made by hand for every lamp?
A: Yes — each piece is hand-blown, meaning slight variations in the bubble distribution, glass tone, and surface texture are inherent to the production process. No two lamps are identical, which is a valued characteristic of Murano-inspired artisan glasswork rather than a defect.

Q: What is the difference between Seeded Cream and Seeded Smoke?
A: Seeded Cream is a warm, luminous off-white glass that amplifies the warm 2700K light and creates a bright, inviting glow. Seeded Smoke is a grey-tinted glass that produces a softer, more atmospheric illumination — warmer and more intimate in the space. Both are equally effective depending on the mood of the room.

Q: Does the Bolete need to be hardwired, or does it plug into a standard outlet?
A: It plugs directly into any standard 120V household outlet via the 72-inch fabric cord. No hardwiring, electrician, or wall dimmer is required — the dimmer control is built into the cord switch box.
