Table lamps made of wood

Among other things, you will find table lamps made of high-quality oak or birch wood, as well as bamboo. Hard oak wood is considered extremely robust and weather-resistant, and is characterized by its distinctive grain with clearly visible annual rings.

Table lamps with special features
Battery lamps
If you want to use your table lamp flexibly and independently of a power outlet, battery lamps are the right choice. Once charged, the mobile lamps provide light wherever you need it: on the dining table or kitchen counter, the sideboard or the coffee table.
LED lights
With energy-efficient LED table lamps, you save electricity and protect the environment. The compact LED modules also enable extremely filigree, flat designs that would not be possible with luminaires with a socket, for example E14 or E27. Many LED lights are dimmable, with some you can even adjust the (light) color.
Solar lights
Table lamps with solar module draw their energy from the sun and are thus considered a particularly sustainable lighting solution for atmospheric light. The decorative solar lamps integrate a rechargeable battery and LEDs and can often be used in the garden or on the balcony. For this purpose, note the protection class of the product.
Dimmable table lamps for an atmospheric ambience
When you choose a dimmable table lamp, you can adjust the brightness individually – depending on your needs and application. For example, set bright light for reading and dim it in the evening for a cozy atmosphere to relax.
The operation is different: some table lamps integrate a touch dimmer, others are equipped with a sliding, rotary or tilt dimmer. Some table lamps you dim intuitively by gesture control, others you control with a remote control, your smartphone or tablet.

Our table lamps include world-renowned design classics from various brands that have become true lighting icons over the years. They come from different decades – some are from the Bauhaus era, others from Pop Art – and not infrequently exude nostalgia in your four walls.
The timeless table lamps present themselves in numerous colors and shapes – from straight to round. Many of them have won prestigious design awards such as the Compasso d'Oro or the iF Design Award and come from the pens of well-known designers.
Frequently asked questions to our lighting experts

How many watts should my table lamp have?
In the age of LEDs, instead of the wattage, you should rather consider the luminous flux, specified in lumens. This describes the total light output of a light source. How many lumens your table lamp should have depends on various factors such as the direction of light, light distribution and the purpose your table lamp serves.
Reading light, for example, should have a higher luminous flux than mood lighting. For the latter, up to 300 lumens is recommended. Table lamps that provide reading light should have at least 500 lumens. For desk luminaires, the luminous flux can be somewhat higher. At office workplaces, 700 lumens upwards are a good orientation to achieve the legally prescribed 500 lux (lumens per square meter).
In any case, however, you should make sure that reading and desk lamps provide directional, glare-free light that you can direct at best.
Tip: You can retain flexibility in terms of brightness with dimmable table lamps.
Which bulb is right for my table lamp?
Once you have decided on a table lamp with a socket, for example E14 or E27, you need to choose a suitable bulb, if none is supplied. We generally recommend LED bulbs, as they are unbeatable in terms of energy efficiency and longevity. You should choose the illuminant carefully, as it can significantly influence the lighting effect.
If your table lamp has a translucent shade, it is best to choose an illuminant with a matte coating. This prevents unsightly shadows from forming on the lampshade. For lamps without a shade or with clear, smoky or colored diffusers, we recommend
gold-coated
or clear bulbs
. This makes for great lighting effects.
Do you like dimmed light? Then you should make sure that LED bulbs are dimmable. You can find information on this on the respective product page of the illuminant. You can dim the light of table lamps with dim-to-warm technology in a particularly atmospheric way. Thanks to this innovative technology, the light shines not only darker but also warmer when dimmed down.
For mood lighting or cozy light for evening reading, we recommend an illuminant with a warm white light color. For concentrated work at the desk, on the other hand, cooler neutral white or daylight white is more suitable.
Tip: LED lamps with
adjustable light color
keep you flexible.Especially if you use your table lamp at the workplace, the color rendering of the illuminant plays a major role. To ensure that colors of illuminated surfaces and objects are reproduced as naturally as possible, the light source should have a color rendering index of at least Ra=90.
When is it recommended to use a table lamp without a cable?
A table lamp without a cable is practical if you want to use your lamp flexibly and not be tied to a fixed location. Because with a battery lamp you are independent of electricity – provided that the battery is charged – and can enjoy good light even where there is no socket nearby.
If you want to take your table lamp to the balcony or terrace, pay attention to the IP protection class. If the lamp is not at least splash-proof (IPX4), only use it outside in good weather and do not expose it to rain. Outdoor table lamps with rechargeable battery, on the other hand, you can use in the garden without any problems or even take them camping.
