Description
Taking inspiration from 1960s design, this table lamp fuses a satin brass shade with precision stainless steel metal work. The design has a smart, industrial style and there's a cotton braided cable with an in-line switch for practicality. It's ideal for illuminating your space, especially during the working day. Original BTC is a British company committed to producing high quality lights. Designed in-house by founder Peter Bowles, their lights blend materials from bone china and chrome to natural cotton and aluminium. Their relaxed and unprocessed style will sit comfortably in most settings.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little desk lamp because of its sleek brass finish, which adds a touch of understated elegance to any workspace or bedside table. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, but also pairs nicely with vintage or industrial styles thanks to its clean lines and metal construction. When styling with this lamp, consider placing it on a wooden or marble surface to highlight its warm tones, and keep other accessories simple to let it stand out. Practical tips include positioning it to optimise task lighting at your desk or reading nook, and using a warm bulb to complement the brass for a cosy, inviting feel.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
