Santa & Cole Cestita Metálica Table Lamp

A compact, dimmable steel lamp that fits on shelves and narrow ledges where most table lamps cannot.

We specify the Cestita Metálica for the small places a room often forgets: a bookshelf niche, a narrow nightstand, a reception counter. Its opal globe gives a soft accent glow that layers well with overhead light. The stainless frame suits Modern, Minimalist and Transitional interiors, especially beside glass and stone. It also makes a refined touch in hotel guest rooms and powder rooms with dry conditions.
