• Would you like to use this designer lamp as a decorative object on your work table?

Thus, you will find different types of vintage design lamps in our online store:

• A large lamp is able to illuminate your desk or, like a diffuser, to project light effects on the walls, thanks to a direct lighting system if it is placed on a coffee table.
• A small auxiliary lamp, such as a night light, can be placed in a corner of your workspace to provide enough light. What to avoid any glare, not to tire your eyes and to have an optimal visual comfort thanks to indirect lighting.

To create an original atmosphere in this space which is very personal to you, several types of table lamps with modern design are available:

• Art Deco style to remind you of the 1930s,
• Industrial style if you prefer metal lamps,
• Scandinavian style if you opt for a minimalist decoration in neutral tones,
• Or vintage, retro or Italian design.

In an office, for optimal lighting, it is advisable to use natural, clear, white light of around 3,300 to 5,000 Kelvin.

If that is not enough, you can opt for a light intensity close to daylight (over 5,300 Kelvin).

And if you only want a reading lamp, choose a lamp with soft, warm, subdued light, tending towards yellow (from 1000 to 5000 Kelvin). It will create a cozy atmosphere.

Some luminaire models are equipped with LED bulbs, low consumption (from 2 to 20 Watts). Several of them have an Edison LED bulb. With LED lighting, there is no heat release.

Depending on the decoration of your worktop, it is best to choose a lamp in a color already present in your room. Thus, this designer lighting will allow you to make a very elegant, sophisticated touch.
