Above that sparkling base, a wide white shade on a slim chrome stem spreads soft light across a sideboard, desk or hall table. At 30.3 in tall it is a substantial lamp for a long surface, and one that looks as considered unlit in daylight as it does glowing in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ashangai table lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F418805150CBN1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug-in decorative table lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e sideboards, consoles, desks, living rooms, studies, hotel lobbies, suites and restaurants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.3 in (77 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5 in (47 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x E12 bulbs, 30W maximum each (bulbs not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diffused, dimmable with the switch on the cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 V plug-in; transparent power cable with dimmer and plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent borosilicate glass tubes; chrome-plated brass frame and joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Max Ingrand (1955)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic, Retro, Transitional, Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/ul-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"UL pending certification mark: UL listing for the US market is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e UL certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshangai uses three small E12 bulbs under one wide shade rather than a single large bulb, so the light spreads evenly across the full 18.5 in diameter and falls softly onto the surface below. The shade diffuses the glow upward and sideways at the same time, giving a warm ambient light to the room and a brighter pool on the table, which is ideal for a sideboard set for drinks or a desk used in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight falling through the clear glass tubes catches on every edge and chrome joint, so the base glints even though it is not lit itself. A dimmer on the cord lets you take the three bulbs down for a softer, candle-like mood. Each socket takes up to 30W; three 2700K LED candelabra bulbs give a warm, even look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 30.3 in (77 cm) tall with an 18.5 in (47 cm) shade, Ashangai is a full-size lamp. It belongs on a sideboard, console or buffet at least 18 in deep, or on a large writing desk. The open glass base keeps it visually light, so it will not crowd a mirror or artwork hung behind it; the maker's own photograph shows it in front of a gilt mirror, where the reflection doubles the effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a console, set the lamp toward one end and balance it with a group of ceramics or books. On a desk, place it to the side of your writing hand so the shade lights the work surface without casting your shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiving and dining rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e A sideboard or buffet is the classic home for Ashangai, where it lights a bar tray or serving pieces and adds sparkle to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudies and entries.\u003c\/strong\u003e On a library desk or hall console it gives a strong focal point and useful light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHospitality.\u003c\/strong\u003e In hotel suites, boutique lobbies, private dining rooms and members' clubs, a 1955 design in glass and chrome signals heritage and craftsmanship.

Its mix of glass, chrome and a calm white shade makes it a natural fit for Classic and Retro rooms with walnut, rosewood, brass and antique mirrors, while the transparent base keeps it light enough for Transitional and Contemporary interiors. Pair it with dark polished wood, smoked or clear glass objects and a plain wall so the crossed tubes read clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Ashangai\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 1955 design by Max Ingrand, still produced by FontanaArte.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossed borosilicate glass tubes and chrome-plated brass make the base a sculpture in its own right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree bulbs under a wide shade for even, generous light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimmer included on the cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-in with a transparent cable that keeps the look clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug and let the bulbs cool before cleaning.
