Fabula Mansfield Single Table Lamp Base - Graphite - Base Only

A Compact Graphite Base For Table Or Desk

This table lamp base in graphite grey is a minimal, self contained unit with a built in toggle switch and E27 bulb socket, ready to accept any compatible shade. The compact 15cm height makes it suitable for shelves, side tables, desks and bedside units where height is limited. The graphite finish reads as neutral and contemporary, disappearing into any room's existing scheme.

Choosing Your Finish

Graphite grey is a cool, sophisticated neutral that works alongside both warm and cool colour palettes. The matte finish is subtle and understated, letting any shade you add become the visual focus. The same base design is available in other finishes if you prefer different metals or tones.

How It Works

The base contains a single E27 bulb socket accepting up to 60W, whether LED or traditional filament. A built in toggle switch on the body allows on and off control without needing a separate switch. It's wired to Class I standards, meaning an earth connection is required. The cord and plug are included ready to use once you add a shade and bulb.

Where It Works Best

At 15cm tall, this base works on side tables, desks, shelves and bedside units where taller lamps would be unwieldy. It's suited to living rooms and dining areas where you want focused table lighting rather than ambient illumination. As an IP20 rated lamp base, it's for dry indoor spaces only.

Design Details

The Mansfield base is engineering focused on simplicity, with minimal form and maximum function. The iron construction is robust and durable, designed to sit safely on furniture and withstand regular handling. The toggle switch is easy to reach and operate, while the graphite finish means the base itself won't distract from whatever shade you choose to put on top.
