Geometric Composition

The Cairn Table Lamp is built from three geometric primitives—a circular base, a cylindrical stem, a hemispherical shade. Iron and polycarbonate construction. The proportions follow Bauhaus logic: each element visually distinct, structurally unified.

Materials

Iron Stem and Base
The cylindrical shaft and circular base are formed in iron with a matte finish, providing stable, weighted support for the dome shade while maintaining the geometric purity of the original Bauhaus form.

Polycarbonate Shade
The dome shade is formed in polycarbonate, producing diffused downward light while maintaining the hemispherical silhouette. Polycarbonate offers impact resistance and consistent optical properties.

Dimensions
8" diameter (shade) x 12" height

Stones, Stacked

A small lamp with the proportions of a balanced cairn.
Glow without glare, light without bulk.

Two Rounds, One Form

The shade reads as two stones resting on each other. Soft edges, no sharp lines.

Centred on One Axis

Shade, stem, and base align on a single vertical line. The discipline holds the form together.

Frosted, Not Clear

The shade diffuses light evenly across its whole surface. No hot spots, no harsh shadows.

Questions About The Cairn Table Lamp

How long until I receive my order?

The Cairn Table Lamp arrives approximately 7-10 weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Cairn Table Lamp can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Cairn Table Lamp ships within 2-5 days of order placement.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Cairn Table Lamp ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
