Marks & Spencer
M&S Wicker Pleated Shade Table Lamp Natural
£80
Price History
Description
Natural textures give this table lamp a warm and inviting feel. The softly curved base is crafted from woven wicker, creating a tactile finish with plenty of character. A beautifully pleated fabric shade complements the organic look, adding an elegant contrast and softly diffusing the light.
Our Stylist Says
I love this table lamp for its natural, relaxed vibe, making it a beautiful addition to both contemporary and boho-inspired interiors. The wicker base adds texture and warmth, while the pleated shade softens the light, creating a cosy ambience. It works particularly well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even scandi-style schemes where natural materials are key. For styling tips, consider placing it on a wooden side table or a mantlepiece to highlight its organic charm. Pair it with other wicker or rattan accents to create a cohesive look, or contrast it with modern metals for an eclectic feel. Its understated design makes it versatile enough to blend seamlessly into various colour palettes and decor styles.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
