FOSSIL BROWN TABLE LAMP

FOSSIL BROWN TABLE LAMP

For a bedroom corner, a reading nook, or an entryway console, few fixtures do what the right table lamp can — anchor a room’s character without overpowering it. The Odessa from Arteriors Home manages exactly that. Its cast resin base merges seamlessly into a bowl-like silhouette finished in fossil brown, a texture that reads as organic and grounded — at home in rustic interiors, coastal spaces, and anywhere natural materials take precedence. A white linen oval shade with ivory cotton lining softens the form at the top, balancing the earthiness of the base with something clean and airy. The pairing works because the contrast is deliberate, not accidental.

Elegant Design Details

Arteriors Home built the Odessa around a cast resin body finished in fossil brown — a surface treatment that evokes raw stone and weathered earth without veering into anything overwrought. The base and body flow into one another in a continuous bowl-like curve, giving the lamp a sculptural quality that holds visual interest even when unlit. A slip uno shade fitter keeps the transition from base to shade clean and uninterrupted. The 8-foot taupe fabric cord blends into the design rather than distracting from it, and the cord-mounted full-range dimmer means control stays close at hand without requiring a separate wall switch.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The wide oval shade — 27 inches across at the top and expanding to 28 inches at the base — casts light broadly and evenly, making the Odessa well-suited to larger surfaces and open room arrangements. The white linen exterior diffuses the bulb’s output into something warm and indirect, while the ivory cotton lining adds a layer of softness to the glow. The full-range dimmer switch on the cord allows the lamp to shift between bright functional light and low ambient mood with a single adjustment, making it as practical for late-night reading as it is for setting a relaxed evening tone.

Size & Functional Features

The Odessa stands 26 inches tall overall, with a base footprint of 8 inches wide by 5½ inches deep — substantial enough to anchor a surface without crowding it. The oval shade measures 12 inches high, 27 inches wide at the top tapering to 28 inches at the bottom, with a depth that goes from 4 inches at the top to 15 inches at the base, creating a profile that spreads generously without feeling oversized. It accepts one maximum 150-watt standard medium-base bulb, sold separately, and the 8-foot taupe fabric cord provides ample reach from outlet to placement point.
