5 Let’s Pause Table Lamps: Lighting becomes Refuge
Let’s Pause presents a selection of table lamps that celebrate our desire to inhabit warm spaces that help us feel more at ease. From the warm tactile quality of olive wood to the smooth touch of fique fibre and vegetal leather, these handmade pieces provide us with the comforting power of living materials.
All that’s missing is a roaring fire …
It’s always surprising to experience how our mood changes as autumn comes along. The days get shorter and reflections are softened, while the changes in daylight, temperature, and colour inspire us to seek quiet settings, warm baths, conversations in front of an open fireplace…
Conscious of this pivotal moment, we at Let’s Pause are presenting a selection of table lamps and decorative objects that are perfect for adding warmth to habitable spaces and creating intimate and sensitive ambiences. New designs and other already iconic pieces that highlight the organic materiality, the artisanal craft and vegetal upcycling: transforming resources discarded by mother nature into sustainable designer objects is always a good idea
This Autumn-Winter, set the table with light and nature.
1. NEW EMO TABLE
Inspired by Haute Couture
Inspired by haut couture knitting, the new table lamp Emo Table combines traditional textiles and contemporary design. Its shade is made from fique fibre hand-knitted using the two-needle technique creating a vegetal mesh that delicately filters the light and suggests the geometric patterns and vertical architecture of Paco Rabanne’s dresses. The aluminium structure, with its 1960s aesthetic, adds a light-weight stability. Ideal for desktops or reading areas, its warm light is both calming and stylish.
2. BAMBOO TABLE
A playful light of fibres, colours, shadows and reflections
With Bamboo Table, Let’s Pause pays homage to the peaceful beauty of Japanese bamboo forests, where the light is softly filtered between the stalks creating a hypnotic play of shadows and reflections. Woven by hand using natural fique fibres, this lamp reimagines the stem of the bamboo plant and their sense of rhythm and lightness through a crochet pattern that combines transparencies and colour. Available in organic colour combinations with touches of blue, copper and white, an enveloping light that brings harmony and subtle elegance which invites contemplation.
3. CONTI TABLE
The passage of time transformed into design
The Conti Collection, of hand-turned wild olive wood, has been added to this season with a table lamp, a series of candle holders, and vases that all share the same sculptural essence. Each piece is crafted from sustainably recycled olive tree roots and assembled like a string of beads, maintaining the wood’s original form and grain. Inspired by the creations of designer Isamu Noguchi, Conti Table radiates a warm illumination and an organic style that highlights the wood’s living texture. The collection combines art, meditation and material.
4. COCCOLA TABLE
Touched by light
Portable, rechargeable and woven from fique fibre, Coccola Table is synonymous with wellbeing and warmth. Its glass pebble base gently reflects the light, while the fabric mediates it creating intimate ambiences. Versatile and functional, it can elegantly complement any surface, setting the scene for shared evenings with wrap-around lighting that invites you to pause. Its name tells you everything: “Coccola” means caress.
5. COURO TABLE
Luxurious wild vegetal character
The iconic Couro Table is a plant based light fitting inspired by vegetal upcycling: its shade is made from the leaves of the American palm tree, steam moulded and hand-stitched, that take on the tactile quality and look of natural leather. The cocoa bean colour and organic sheen add a warm sophistication. With its black cotton cable and brown aluminium structure, this lamp combines contemporary elegance with respect for the cycles of Mother Nature. A piece that lights and enlightens.
When choosing one of these table lamps, you are choosing a more conscientious way of living: handmade pieces, using organic and long-lasting materials, conceived for complementing rather than overpowering. Explore the collection at our online shop and find the best lighting for your home.
The shades featured in our light fittings are not subjected to artificial treatments, at the end of their useful life they will revert back to the ecosystem.
