I’ve been in my fair share of luxury lodgings all over the world, and I find myself delighted and inspired by the décor, maybe because so much of it is custom-crafted for that particular hotel. The last time Gabe and I were in Raleigh, our suite included absolutely darling bedside lamps with a glossy, sinuous base.

Knowing that lamps are a savvy way of adding whatever a room lacks--sparkle, pattern, texture--I was determined to re-create it. Our Raleigh Table Lamp has a vase-like base in glossy white with antique brass accents and a white drum shade. Very versatile and appealing no matter the style of the room. Also available in green.

Dimensions: 17 x 17 x 31.5. Imported. Handling Fee is $20.
