Quixy Floral Scandinavian Table Lamp

The Quixy Table Lamp applies a delicate floral treatment to a Scandinavian silhouette, which is a deliberately unusual pairing. Nordic design is usually plain; adding a botanical pattern gives the lamp warmth and a sense of age without departing from the clean proportions underneath.

The pattern sits on the shade, so it becomes most visible when the lamp is lit and light passes through it, throwing a faint impression of the design onto the wall behind. Switched off it reads as a subtle texture rather than a bold print, which keeps the lamp usable in a room that is otherwise restrained.

Velleora Home Decor kept the base plain so the shade holds all the detail. It takes a standard low-wattage bulb, and a warm bulb brings out the florals better than a cool one. Dust the shade with a soft brush rather than a cloth, and lift the lamp by the base rather than the shade.
