Fabula Leicester Single Adjustable Table Lamp - Matt Black & Khaki

Task Lighting That Actually Adjusts

Leicester updates the classic desk lamp with a narrowed domed shade in matt black paired with khaki detailing, moving away from the standard black or chrome options without straying into fussy territory. The adjustable arm lets you angle the head precisely where you need it, whether that's over a keyboard, across a page, or down onto a book. A sturdy base keeps it stable on whatever surface you place it on, and the whole thing has a no nonsense, practical character.

Choosing Your Finish

The matt black with khaki accents strikes a balance between contemporary minimalism and retro workspace aesthetics. This two tone finish feels more distinctive than an all black lamp without being decorative, making it equally happy on a home office desk, a bedroom side table, or a living room console. The muted tones work well with most existing furniture and colour schemes.

How It Works

The lamp takes a single E27 bulb, 20W maximum. It's a Class II electrical fitting, so it doesn't require an earth connection. It's dimmable if you pair it with a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer, though many people use it at full brightness for task work. A toggle switch on the body makes it easy to turn on and off. The IP20 rating means it's for indoor use in dry spaces, not suitable for bathrooms or other damp environments.

Where It Works Best

This lamp is designed for task lighting on a desk, dressing table, bedside table, or console. The adjustable arm is the key feature, letting you direct light exactly where you need it rather than accepting a fixed upward glow. It's particularly popular with people who spend time reading, writing, or doing detailed work and want practical, directional light rather than ambient room lighting.

Design Details

The dome shade shape is functional and timeless, directing light downward and outward in the most useful way for task work. The matt black finish is practical and hides dust and fingerprints better than gloss or chrome would. Iron construction throughout provides durability and a solid feel that prevents the lamp tipping over when adjusted. The khaki detailing adds visual interest without sacrificing the practical aesthetic.

Questions People Ask

Can I use this as a bedside lamp?
Yes, though you'd need a dimmer to use it comfortably at night. At full brightness it's quite bright for bedtime reading, but dialled down it's fine for a bedside perch.

How much does the arm move?
The arm adjusts fully, letting you angle it wherever you need the light. It's particularly good for desk work where you might want to adjust it multiple times through the day.

Are the bulbs included?
No, this lamp takes an E27 bulb which is sold separately.
