Visual Comfort Armato Table Lamp

The Visual Comfort Armato Table Lamp, designed by Kelly Wearstler for the Armato range, pairs a sculptural ceramic base with an oversized drum shade to create a deliberate, object-like bedside or living-room light. The design references an anthropomorphic bust and neoclassical form, making it as much a decorative piece as a source of ambient light.

Formally the base is modelled with a slender neck, broad rounded shoulders and a tapering body; finishes are available in Stained Black Metallic and Porous White. Shade options include a linen cover or an antique-burnished brass drum, allowing subtle shifts between soft textile warmth and a reflective metallic accent.

Constructed from plaster/ceramic, the base has a tactile, pitted surface finish and a thin metal trim at the foot. Reactive ceramic glazes will vary in colour and texture, a characteristic of the material that makes each piece slightly unique. The lamp’s weight and flat circular base provide a stable footprint for the top-heavy silhouette.

Light is delivered via an E27 keyless socket with an inline line switch, paired with the wide oval shade to create soft, ambient illumination suitable for bedrooms and living rooms. The shade proportions partially obscure the base neck, emphasising the drum and producing balanced, low-glare ambient light for domestic settings. The product is rated IP20 and is Class II.
