Santa & Cole Básica M2 Table Lamp

A tall, dimmable accent lamp that gives a console or sideboard real vertical presence on a small footprint.

When a surface needs height but not width, we suggest the Básica M2. Its tall shade fills the space between a sideboard and the artwork above it, and the footprint stays narrow enough for a slim console. In hotel lobbies and residential entries it reads as calm and timeless. It sits well in Transitional, Mediterranean and Scandinavian schemes.

Where to use it

Suited on an entry console, a dining room sideboard, a lobby desk or a living room side table.

Planning notes

Allow at least 75 cm (29.5 in) of clear height above the table surface. The 2.25 m (88.6 in) cord reaches most outlets behind furniture, and the dimmer on the cord makes it easy to adjust. Pairs at each end of a long sideboard look intentional.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs a non-Quick Ship version within days: those are made to order in Spain with a lead time of 4 weeks.
• Anyone expecting bulbs in the box: they are not included.

Care

Dust the parchment shade with a soft, dry brush; keep it away from moisture.

Frequently asked questions

Will it fit under kitchen wall cabinets?

Usually not; at 71 cm (28 in) it is better suited to open surfaces like consoles and desks.

Can it serve as a bedside lamp?

On a tall, wide nightstand yes, but most bedrooms suit the shorter Básica M1.

What bulb does it need?

An E26 dimmable LED of about 11 W, up to 115 mm (4.5 in) tall. Maximum 100 W. The bulb is not included.

Should I add the stabilizing disc?

We recommend it for busy spaces such as lobbies or homes with children and pets, where a wider stance helps.
