Serena Table Lamp

The Serena pairs a matte ceramic globe base with a pleated linen shade. At 1.65 lbs it is light enough to move around easily, and the round ceramic base keeps its weight low, so it sits steady on a nightstand or shelf.

No. The Serena has no USB port or built-in outlet. It turns on and off with a switch on the cord, so there is no reaching under the shade to find a knob. The switch is white on the Beige version and black on the Red and Teal versions.

Not from the lamp: the switch on the cord is on or off only. The included bulb gives a warm 2700K light. To dim it, fit a smart bulb in the same small size: it dims from its app while the lamp's switch stays on, with no extra hardware. With a regular dimmable bulb you would need a plug-in dimmer instead.

No. The Serena is made for a soft, all-around glow rather than a directed beam. The pleated shade is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so most of the light falls onto the surface around the lamp while the linen itself glows warmly. The shade does not tilt.

Yes, a 4.5 watt, 500 lumen LED bulb is included, giving roughly the light of a 40 watt incandescent in a warm 2700K tone. It is replaceable, but check the size before buying: it uses a small candelabra screw base (E12), not the standard household size, so look for an E12 LED bulb when it is time to replace it.

Three: Beige, Red and Teal, and each is finished differently. Beige pairs a cream ceramic base with a golden peach shade. Red and Teal are tonal, with the base and shade in matching shades of brick red or deep teal. All three are matte, and all are the same size and price.

The Serena is retro and midcentury in feel: a round ceramic base under a pleated shade, a shape that suits boho, eclectic and vintage rooms as easily as modern ones. Its size makes it a bedside, desk, bookshelf or dresser lamp, and it works well in small spaces like dorm rooms, entryways and kids' rooms, where a full-size table lamp would crowd the surface.

The Serena is small, and it is worth knowing before ordering. It stands 10 inches tall, a couple of inches shorter than a standard wine bottle, and the shade is 8.5 inches across at its widest. The base sits on only about 2.5 inches of surface, so it fits on the narrowest nightstand or shelf. It is an accent and bedside lamp, not a lamp that lights a whole room.

The Serena ships in a small parcel box, well under any oversized limit: 11 by 10.5 by 6.4 inches at about 2.4 lbs.

Barely. Screw the included bulb into the base and set the shade in place on top. There are no tools and no separate hardware, and it takes about a minute to assemble.

Two is a common choice. A pair clears the $99 free shipping threshold, and the Serena is sized for matching nightstands or both ends of a console table. Mixing works as well as matching: a Red and a Teal side by side look deliberate because the shape is identical. For a cordless option in a similar small size, the Celia Portable Lamp is rechargeable and comes in seven colors.

The Serena is covered by a 5 year warranty and is UL Listed, with US based customer service.
