There are lamps that illuminate a room and lamps that define it — the ones that are as beautiful off as they are on, that are as much a piece of art as they are a source of light, that make every guest stop and look before they notice the glow. The Urban Habitat Borel Ombre Glass Table Lamp is the second kind. Dark blue ombre glass and crystal base. Plated silver metal finish. Cream drum shade. The lamp that brings the soft, dreamy beauty of the ombre gradient — the color that fades from deep, rich blue at the base to the clearest, most luminous glass at the top — to the nightstand, the console, the living room side table, the bedroom dresser. The lamp that makes the room more beautiful simply by being in it, whether it is on or off.
The ombre effect — the gradient that moves from deep, saturated dark blue at the base through progressively lighter, more luminous blue tones to the clear, bright glass at the top — is the design detail that makes this lamp genuinely extraordinary. Ombre is the color technique that is simultaneously bold and soft, dramatic and gentle, the gradient that catches the eye without overwhelming the room, that adds color without demanding attention, that makes the lamp feel like a piece of art that happens to also provide light.
The blue hue is the color that adds a soft, sophisticated touch of color to any room — the blue that works with every interior palette, from the all-white bedroom where it provides the only color accent to the navy and cream living room where it deepens and enriches the palette to the warm wood study where it provides the cool, calming counterpoint. The blue that is never too much and always exactly right — the color that makes the lamp as versatile as it is beautiful.
The glass and crystal construction gives the base its luminous, dimensional quality — the material that catches the light from every angle, that makes the ombre gradient look different in the morning sun than it does in the evening lamplight, that gives the lamp its depth and its genuine visual interest. At 65% glass, 10% crystal, and 5% iron, the base is as beautifully constructed as it looks — the lamp that is as extraordinary up close as it is from across the room.
The plated silver metal finish is the hardware detail that ties the lamp together — the cool, polished silver that complements the blue ombre glass perfectly, that adds the subtle glamour and the sense of quality that elevates the entire piece. Silver and blue — the combination that is simultaneously classic and contemporary, the palette that feels as at home in the most traditional bedroom as it does in the most modern living room. The plated silver finish that catches the light and adds its own quiet sparkle to the lamp’s already extraordinary visual presence.
The cream drum-shaped shade — 14" in diameter, 10" tall, made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton — is the finishing element that makes the lamp complete. The cream color is the perfect complement to the dark blue ombre base — warm enough to soften the cool blue, neutral enough to work with every room palette, the shade that tastefully accents the base without competing with it. The drum shape is clean and contemporary, the proportions are perfectly balanced, and the fabric filters the light to give off the warm, soft glow that makes a room feel intimate and beautifully lit rather than simply illuminated.
The 72" clear cord gives generous reach to the nearest outlet without the cord becoming a design problem. The on/off switch on the socket makes turning the lamp on and off effortless — no reaching behind furniture, no searching for the switch in the dark. The E26 socket accepts a standard Type A bulb — 60W incandescent, 13W CFL, or 9W LED — giving complete control over the warmth and the brightness of the light. The lamp that is as practical as it is beautiful, as easy to use as it is extraordinary to look at.
On the nightstand, where the ombre blue base and the warm cream shade make the most intimate room in the house feel more beautifully appointed and the soft glow makes the evening wind-down feel genuinely restful. On the living room side table, where the eye-catching ombre base makes the lamp the most interesting accent piece in the room. On the console in the entryway, where the dark blue ombre glass is the first beautiful thing seen when the door opens. On the bedroom dresser, where the lamp adds the soft touch of color that makes the whole room feel more intentional. The Urban Habitat Borel Ombre Glass Table Lamp — the lamp that is as beautiful as the room it lights.
For the person whose home deserves the lamp that is as much a piece of art as it is a source of light. For a housewarming, a birthday, a wedding gift, or a just-because gift for the person whose bedroom or living room needs the most beautiful lamp available. The lamp that arrives and immediately becomes the most talked-about piece in the room.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
