INDORE CHARCOAL BLACK TABLE LAMP

INDORE CHARCOAL BLACK TABLE LAMP

Most table lamps light a room. This one redefines its corner. The Ida charcoal black table lamp from Stylecraft rises 31 inches in a tall, cylindrical silhouette finished in a textured charcoal black that absorbs light rather than reflecting it — a surface quality that gives the base a presence that gloss or smooth finishes rarely achieve. The charcoal finish sits over the base with depth and tactile interest, its texture visible up close and implied from a distance. An off-white drum shade crowns the lamp in a 16-inch wide profile that provides a clean, neutral counterpoint to the dark base below — a contrast that is sharp in tone but balanced in proportion. From minimalist to industrial to contemporary transitional, this lamp adapts without concession.

Elegant Design Details

The cylindrical base form is deliberately unornamented — no curves, no taper, no sculptural gesture beyond the clean vertical line. What carries the design is the textured charcoal black finish, which introduces surface complexity without disrupting the lamp’s strict, modern geometry. That texture shifts subtly under different lighting conditions, reading as almost matte in bright environments and taking on a quiet depth in lower ambient light. The off-white drum shade maintains the same commitment to clean form, its consistent 16-inch width from top to bottom producing a cylindrical silhouette that echoes the base below with deliberate visual logic. Together, the two elements create a lamp that feels considered and cohesive — a composed object rather than a base and shade that merely coexist.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The off-white fabric drum shade diffuses light evenly in all directions, producing warm, soft illumination well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and office spaces where ambient light is prioritized over focused task lighting. Drum shades with uniform top and bottom dimensions distribute light with particular consistency, avoiding the directional bias of tapered or empire profiles and wrapping a room in even, room-filling warmth. The lamp accepts up to a 100-watt standard-medium base bulb, providing sufficient output for most residential lighting contexts. The combination of a dark, light-absorbing base and a light-diffusing off-white shade creates an illuminated contrast effect when the lamp is switched on — the base receding visually while the shade glows — that reinforces the lamp’s sophisticated, modern character.

Size & Functional Features

At 31 inches tall overall, this lamp is proportioned for console tables, sideboards, large nightstands, and living room end tables where vertical presence is an asset. The base extends to 8.5 inches at its widest point, keeping the footprint narrow and surface-friendly for styled arrangements where space is measured carefully. Despite its 31-inch stature, the lamp weighs just 2.8 pounds — light enough to reposition effortlessly as a room’s layout or styling evolves. The 16-inch drum shade provides coverage proportional to the lamp’s height without exceeding it visually, maintaining the tall, contained silhouette that gives this lamp its distinctly modern authority. A 6-foot cord provides standard reach for most side table and console placements.
