BLACK GLASS TABLE LAMP WITH WHITE SHADE

BLACK GLASS TABLE LAMP WITH WHITE SHADE

Soft ivory above. Deep black glass below. A lamp that builds its entire visual argument on the contrast between two absolutes — and wins. The Stylecraft Ice Castles Table Lamp is 33 inches of considered opposition: a white shade sitting above a black glass base in a combination that manages to feel simultaneously dramatic and composed. The name earns its keep — there is something crystalline and architectural in the black glass construction, its surface catching and refracting ambient light in ways that opaque ceramic or resin bases simply cannot replicate. As a white and black table lamp, the Ice Castles occupies a design register that suits contemporary, Art Deco, and transitional interiors with equal authority. At just 7.2 pounds, the glass construction is lighter than it appears, and the clean white shade above the dark base creates the kind of high-contrast silhouette that photographs as well as it reads in person.

Elegant Design Details

Stylecraft built the Ice Castles around a material that most table lamp manufacturers avoid: black glass. Where ceramic holds surface detail and resin accepts color evenly, glass introduces transparency, depth, and a reflective quality that changes the lamp’s appearance across different lighting conditions. In bright daylight the black glass base reads as deep and architectural; in lower evening light it becomes more reflective, catching the room’s ambient glow and redistributing it across its surface. The white shade above functions as a deliberate reset — clean, bright, and geometrically precise, it draws the eye upward and completes the lamp’s high-contrast composition without competing with the base below. The 7.0-inch base width keeps the footprint controlled for a lamp standing 33 inches tall.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The white shade on the Ice Castles is the lamp’s lighting workhorse — its pale interior maximizing the bulb’s output by reflecting light outward with minimal color shift or absorption. At 17 inches wide, the shade produces a broad, even spread of ambient light across console surfaces, large nightstands, and living room side tables at a height that covers significant area. The black glass base below adds a secondary light interaction — reflecting the room’s ambient glow across its surface when the lamp is on, creating a halo effect around the base that amplifies the lamp’s overall atmospheric presence. A single standard base bulb at up to 100 watts powers the fixture, with a warm white tone being the natural complement to the lamp’s cool black and white palette.

Size & Functional Features

At 33.0 inches tall and 17.0 inches wide, the Ice Castles is scaled for large-format placement — wide console tables, oversized bedroom dressers, and generous living room side tables where a lamp of this height reads as intentional rather than incidental. The 7.0-inch base keeps the footprint disciplined despite the lamp’s considerable height, fitting comfortably on surfaces where a wider base would consume valuable space. At 7.2 pounds the glass construction is exceptionally manageable for a lamp of this scale, making repositioning straightforward. A single standard base bulb at up to 100 watts keeps the Ice Castles as uncomplicated to operate as its visual impact is immediate.
