LIGHT COBALT BLUE DRIP CERAMIC TABLE LAMP

LIGHT COBALT BLUE DRIP CERAMIC TABLE LAMP

Lead with the material and the design almost explains itself. The cobalt blue drip ceramic table lamp from Uttermost’s Waves collection — designed by Renee Wightman — starts with a hand-applied drip glaze in light cobalt blue that runs and pools across an abstract wrinkle-textured ceramic base. No two applications land exactly the same way. The drip pattern is controlled enough to feel intentional, loose enough to feel alive — and when light catches the ridged surface beneath it, the blue shifts in intensity across every fold and valley. Brushed nickel iron accents tie the hardware to the pale finish without interrupting it. This is a lamp with a point of view.

Elegant Design Details

Renee Wightman’s design for the Waves collection draws on Art Nouveau’s preoccupation with organic form and surface movement, reinterpreted through a distinctly contemporary lens. The ceramic base is shaped with an abstract wrinkle texture — irregular, dimensional, and deeply tactile — that gives the drip glaze something meaningful to interact with. Where the glaze pools in the recesses, the blue deepens. Where it thins over the ridges, it lightens almost to white. The result is a surface that contains an entire range of tone within a single colour. Brushed nickel finish iron accents appear at the fittings and hardware, providing a cool metallic counterpoint to the warm ceramic body. The round white fabric hardback drum shade keeps the top of the lamp clean and neutral, ensuring the base remains the undisputed focal point.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The round white fabric hardback drum shade — 16 inches wide and 10 inches high — delivers even, diffused illumination in all directions, spreading warm light laterally across the surrounding space without harsh directional contrast. The hardback construction maintains the shade’s crisp cylindrical profile over time, preventing any sagging or distortion that softer shades are prone to. At 27½ inches tall, the light source sits at a height well suited to beside seating, reading, and ambient layering in living and bedroom environments. The 3-way socket switch provides full control over output intensity without requiring a separate dimmer, moving between a low mood setting and a fully functional light level in three steps.

Size & Functional Features

At 27½ inches tall with a 6½-inch round base, the Waves lamp is versatile across a range of surface types — nightstands, mid-height side tables, compact console ends, and shelving where a statement accent lamp is needed without overwhelming the surrounding objects. The 8-pound ceramic construction is solid and stable, the round base distributing weight evenly across the surface. It takes one maximum 150-watt Type A bulb, not included, via a 3-way switch on the socket. The 7-foot cord is long enough to reach floor outlets comfortably without requiring an extension in most room configurations. Best suited to contemporary, eclectic, coastal, and Art Nouveau-influenced interiors where handcrafted ceramic finishes and expressive colour are welcomed rather than restrained.
