PINK CORDLESS TABLE LAMPS

Rosa Aurora is a pale pink marble with soft pink, gray and cream veins. Aurora means dawn, so the name describes the color rather than a place. It has a calm, even look; see it with our other marbles under marble lamps.

A marble with a salmon-pink base and dark, purplish-brown veins that form large patches, which gives it much more contrast than Rosa Aurora. Calacatta Vionaro also comes in white and in yellow; the white version is under white table lamps.

Small amounts of minerals such as iron oxide in the stone. Depending on how much is present, the pink runs from a soft blush to salmon, and the veins can be gray, cream or dark brown, as the two pink marbles on this page show.

Those in the Rijks Collection. A glass shade spreads a smooth, even glow over the pink base, while a linen blend shade gives a softer, textured light. Both shades lift off, so the look of the lamp can change later.

The pink lamps in the Maera Collection. Their porcelain shades are 3D-printed into forms such as ribs, waves and scales, and the white porcelain diffuses the light into a soft glow above the pink marble.

Those in the Levora Collection. The shade is alabaster, a soft, translucent stone with its own clouded pattern, so these lamps pair two natural stones: pink marble below and glowing alabaster above.

Yes. Every shade on the pink lamps is modular and twists off the base, so the same pink marble base can carry glass, linen, 3D-printed porcelain or alabaster. Loose shades are sold separately under lampshades.

Pale marble can absorb coloured liquids such as red wine or coffee, so wipe spills straight away; acids like lemon or vinegar also leave dull marks on the polished surface. Dust with a soft, dry cloth, and for more use a damp cloth with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, then dry.
