Fabula Littleton Small Single Oval Ball Table Lamp - Matt Black & Frosted White Glass

A Soft Light on Your Bedside or Console

This small table lamp from the Littleton range sits happily on a bedside cabinet or hallway console without demanding much space. A matt black iron base holds a frosted white glass oval shade that softens the light into a gentle, diffused glow. The inline switch means you control the lamp directly from the cable, so no separate wall switch is needed.

Choosing Your Finish

The matt black frame absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving a subtle, understated presence in the room. The frosted white glass sphere catches light beautifully without being visually heavy. If black feels too dark for your space, other finishes are available across the Littleton range to suit different interior palettes.

How It Works

A single E27 socket sits inside the frosted glass sphere, delivering light that bounces around the glass surface and spills out softly in all directions. An inline switch on the power cable lets you turn the lamp on and off without fumbling for a wall switch. Class II electrical standard means no earth connection is needed. Dimmable if you pair it with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer.

Where It Works Best

Bedside tables are the natural home for this lamp, where you want light for reading without something so bright it wakes your partner. It works equally well on a hallway console, a bedroom chest of drawers, or a living room side table. The 17.5cm height keeps it low enough not to obstruct sightlines, while the frosted glass ensures the light itself feels warm and inviting rather than harsh.

Design Details

Iron and glass construction gives the lamp both durability and a sense of craftsmanship. The oval ball shape of the shade is distinctive without being trendy, working across contemporary and traditional interiors. At just 19cm in diameter and 0.8kg in weight, it's small enough to fit on a shelf with books or other bedside objects without competing for space.

Questions People Ask

Is this lamp bright enough for reading?
Yes. A 20W bulb in a frosted glass sphere gives out enough light for bedtime reading, especially if you use a warm white bulb. For reading at a desk, you'd want something brighter, but for a bedside position it's ideal.

Do I need to plug this into a wall socket?
Yes, it has a power cable with an inline switch. You'll need a socket near your bedside table or console, or a short extension lead if your nearest socket is far away.

What happens if I want to match other lights in the room?
The Littleton range also includes ceiling lights, pendants and wall fittings in the same design language, so you can create a cohesive look across the room.
