With a shade made of metal in a brushed brass finish and a black marble base, Ian Thornton describes the La Rue Table Lamp as a light with sleek minimalist European style. The brass and black table lamp makes a perfect buffet lamp given it has a tall, thin stem and it exudes indirect light. “For this lamp, we have used an elevated material selection, from the black marble with white veining to the brushed brass finish,” Thornton adds. “The lamp has contemporary styling and was designed with an attention to detail.”
