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. The lamp plugs in through an included power adapter.

No. The switch on the cord turns the Serena on and off only, and the lamp runs on a 12V bulb through its power adapter, so it is not made to work with smart bulbs or plug-in dimmers. The included bulb gives a warm 2700K light.

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 5 watt, 550 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 type before buying: it is a 12V bulb with a small candelabra screw base (E12), so the replacement must also be a 12V E12 LED bulb. A standard household 110V bulb will not work in this lamp.

Four: Beige, Red, Teal and Pink, and each is finished differently. Beige pairs a cream ceramic base with a golden peach shade. Red, Teal and Pink are tonal, with the base and shade in matching shades of brick red, deep teal or soft pink. All four 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.

No, but plan on 10 to 15 minutes. The pleated shade ships folded inside-out for protection: fit it onto its wire frame, screw the included bulb into the base, secure the shade with the socket ring and fold the fabric back over the frame. No tools are needed, and the lamp plugs in through the included power adapter.

Two is a common choice. The Serena is sized for matching nightstands or both ends of a console table. Mixing works as well as matching: two colors 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.
