Visual Comfort Miramar Table Lamp by Kelly Wearstler

Choosing a statement table lamp isn't just about finding something beautiful — it's about committing to a piece that has presence, weight, and the right light direction for its setting. At 83.8cm tall with a 61cm shade, the Miramar isn't a lamp you decide on lightly.

For decorative table lamps of this scale, the key considerations are directional light output, shade material, base stability, and how the piece holds its own in a layered lighting scheme. The Miramar's opaque metal shade directs light primarily downward, creating a defined pool of warmth rather than general diffusion — ideal where atmosphere matters as much as function.

The Visual Comfort Miramar Table Lamp, designed by Kelly Wearstler, brings together two distinct material worlds: a deeply ridged, tapered ceramic base and a smooth, wide-brimmed conical metal shade with an antique-burnished brass finish. The result is a high-contrast composition that references mid-century modernism and industrial geometry — with enough sculptural confidence to anchor a living room, bedroom, or home office corner.

The Miramar is available in two reactive ceramic finishes: Porous White Porcelain and Crystal Bronze Ceramic. Reactive ceramic glazes are applied by hand and will vary in colour and texture between pieces — meaning each lamp is, in its own way, unique. This is a feature of the making process, not a flaw.

The lamp uses two E27 keyless sockets with a line switch and is rated for up to 40W per socket. It carries an IP20 rating, suitable for dry interior environments. Lamps are not included — E27 LED bulbs are recommended to keep within wattage limits and manage heat. The circular base measures 22.9cm in diameter, providing a stable footprint for a lamp of this height and weight (10kg). No driver or transformer is required.

At Lightsource Studio, we help you specify pieces like the Miramar with full confidence — matching scale, finish, and light behaviour to your project before anything is ordered. With lead-time awareness and coordination built into how we work, you avoid the costly surprises that come from specifying on instinct alone.
