Santa & Cole Básica Mínima Table Lamp

A 30 cm accent lamp that fits where a standard table lamp is too big.

We use Básica Mínima as the finishing light in a room: on a shelf between books, on a slim nightstand, or on a reception counter. Its small scale makes it ideal for hotel rooms and guest bedrooms where surface space is tight. The birch and parchment combination is at home in Scandinavian, Nordic and Transitional interiors, while the ribbon and nickel version leans a little more modern.

Where to use it

Suited on a bookshelf, a narrow nightstand, a hallway console, a bar counter or a hotel desk.

Planning notes

It plugs in, so you only need a nearby outlet within its 1.25 m (49.2 in) cable. Use two on a long console or one per nightstand, with a low-wattage E12 LED bulb.

• Anyone who needs a version that is not in stock within days: only the Quick Ship versions leave in 2–3 business days.
• 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.
