{"product_id":"whitman-table-lamp-bz","title":"Visual Comfort Whitman Desk Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eTask lighting on a desk or side table needs to do two things well: direct light where it's needed without creating glare, and hold its own as a design object in the room. Getting that balance wrong is easy — a shade that's too open scatters light everywhere, and one that's too closed kills the atmosphere entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor table and desk lamps, the shade architecture is everything. A tiered or multi-layer shade system channels light downward while the upper dome shields the source from direct view — reducing glare without sacrificing output. Paired with an IP20 rating (suitable for dry indoor environments), this is a lamp built for living rooms, home offices, and bedside settings where neither performance nor appearance can be compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Visual Comfort Whitman Desk Lamp, designed by Thomas O'Brien, is exactly that balance made physical. A large opaque hemispherical dome sits above a tiered inner shade system that diffuses and directs light downward, minimising glare while maintaining a warm, focused pool of illumination. An integrated power button at the base of the stem keeps operation clean and intuitive, and a stepped finial at the crown completes the assembly with quiet precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design draws clearly from mid-century modern references — clean geometric forms, a slender cylindrical stem, and a flat circular weighted base — but it's the brass detailing that lifts it. A knurled brass ring connects stem to base, and a thin brass rim traces the shade's perimeter, creating a high-contrast pairing with the matte body. The Whitman is available in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass or Bronze \u0026amp; Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, giving you a choice between a warmer all-brass palette and a richer, two-tone finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Whitman carries an IP20 rating, meaning it is rated for dry indoor use only — appropriate for desk, table, and bedside placements away from moisture zones. Lamp type and driver requirements should be confirmed at the point of specification; Visual Comfort lamps typically accept standard E26 or E27 sources depending on market. The integrated on\/off switch at the base removes the need for a wall switch or smart control on this fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Lightsource Studio, we work with the Visual Comfort range because Thomas O'Brien's designs consistently bridge design intent and real-world liveability — pieces that specify well, arrive properly, and look exactly as expected on site. If you're working through a broader lighting scheme and want to sense-check how the Whitman fits alongside architectural or ambient layers, we're here to help with that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visual Comfort","offers":[{"title":"Polished Nickel","offer_id":56286663901510,"sku":"16062425","price":807.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass","offer_id":56286663999814,"sku":"16062423","price":1089.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bronze \u0026 Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass","offer_id":56286664393030,"sku":"16062422","price":1089.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8982\/3558\/files\/151266.jpg?v=1775134270","url":"https:\/\/www.lightsourcestudio.es\/en\/products\/whitman-table-lamp-bz","provider":"Lightsource Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
