Gio LED Table Lamp

The flared base makes it feel retro without being kitschy, and it's surprisingly sturdy for something so sculptural. I've had it on my nightstand for a month and the inset LED doesn't get hot at all, which I didn't expect.

The dome shade throws a soft, even light that's perfect for reading in bed without waking my partner. The flared base feels surprisingly sturdy for how sculptural it looks. It's the first lamp I've owned that guests actually ask about.

The flared base is heavier than it looks, so it stays put on my nightstand even when I bump the cord. Only gripe is the touch dimmer—it takes a couple taps to land on the lowest setting. Still, the 1970s shape looks great next to my books.
