It’s amazing what you can do with glass, isn’t it? You can mould it into flutes or urns or globes, combine it with brass or nickel, colour it or let the light shine through clear crystal… And it all makes for some great fun when it comes to creating lovely glass table lamps.
Here are seven beautiful things we’ve discovered you can do with glass, from some Pooky favourites to some recent arrivals - including rechargeable lights...
1. Create some sparkle
2. Use it as a paperweight (or a bedside lamp)
There’s something very satisfying about a solid glass paperweight – and with its smooth, apple-like curves, the gorgeous glass ball that is the Tiddly Pomme table lamp is equally pleasing. While it would almost certainly keep your favourite read in place, it also makes a fine bedside light...
3. Go for elegance
4. Shape it into a vase
A classic glass vase has a lovely timeless quality – and its shape naturally lends itself to creating beautiful table lamps. The Gruber table lamp is the perfect combination, with its elegant high neck and rounded body in deep green milk glass, topped off with an antiqued brass cap. We like it paired a patterned fabric lampshade, but it goes with anything.
5. Make a bold statement
As well as being elegant and delicate, glass is also great for making a bit of a statement… With its broad shoulders and strong blown glass body, the Arnie glass table lamp in blue is big, bold and striking, with plenty of oomph.
6. Get colourful
Coloured glass has a lovely jewel-like quality, which means it works brilliantly in table lamp form. The Sweetie table lamp really showcases the fun and beauty of coloured glass, with its pile of multi–coloured, oddly tasty-looking glass roundels.
7. Go cordless
Wisteria rechargeable glass table lamp
And now for something truly revolutionary – a glass table lamp that you can place anywhere you like! Our classic Wisteria table lamp with its characteristic solid brass open collared base has been transported into the future… and with the rechargeable Genesis Cell, there’s no need to worry about pesky cords or plug sockets, so you can create wow factor in literally any space.
