This lamp infuses traditional wealth and opulence with a playful, modern twist. The lamp's baroque-style base features three intricately decorated elements that interlock, creating a whimsical dance of shapes and forms. The large shade of the Bourgie Table Lamp boasts a pleated effect that adds sophistication and creates a mesmerising play of reflections when lit. The Bourgie Table Lamp offers three adjustable heights (68, 73, and 78 centimetres), allowing you to tailor it to your personal preferences and lighting needs. It is now available in a stunning matte version, in sleek black and pristine white, with a soft-touch finish that effortlessly blends with today's design aesthetics. Embrace the harmonious coexistence of classic and modern styles, and let the Kartell Bourgie Table Lamp become the centerpiece of your unique, quirky, and stylish space. The Bourgie is a lamp with inimitable style and is one of Kartell's most iconic and best-selling designs. Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, this baroque-style lamp features a large pleated style lampshade with a unique attachment allowing it to be adjusted to three different heights. Now crafted from polycarbonate 2.0, a recycled material partly obtained from ISCC certified industrial cellulose and paper waste, this innovative material reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 60% compared to fossil-based polycarbonates. The lamp requires 3 x 28W bulbs (included) and includes a dimmer function. Please note, due to the number of bulbs, the fuse in this lamp will need to be changed more often than in other Kartell lighting; it requires a 20x5mm 800mA quick blow glass fuse.
The Kartell Bourgie Table Lamp in Silver is designed for style-conscious individuals seeking a statement piece that blends classic baroque aesthetics with modern functionality. Its key benefit is the ability to provide customizable ambient lighting through adjustable heights and a pleated shade that creates a mesmerizing glow. A potential caveat is the more frequent need to change the fuse due to its multiple bulbs and dimmer function.
