Visual Comfort Karam Table Lamp

The Visual Comfort Karam Table Lamp, designed by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort, pairs a tactile plaster/ceramic base with a hand-finished metal shade. Its sculptural, geometric silhouette suits desks, side tables and bedside surfaces where considered ambience is required.

The design is defined by a tall, tapered conical base and a wide, truncated cone shade that mirror each other at different scales. The lamp is offered in two appearances: Black and Cream, allowing selection to complement schemes that favour strong contrast or softer tonal balance.

The base is formed from plaster or ceramic and carries a pronounced horizontal ribbed texture for a tactile, matte presence. A short polished gold-toned neck connects the base to the shade, which is metal with a living, hand-applied finish that adds subtle variation and warm metallic highlights.

The wide metal shade is sized to cast a broad pool of light downward and outward, making the piece effective for task-adjacent ambient lighting and creating a calm, focused area of illumination. The contrast between the matte textured base and the reflective shade gives a controlled play of shadow and warmth.

The lamp is supplied with its metal shade as shown and has an IP20 rating for indoor use. Manufacturer warranty is 1 years.
