With the Take table lamp, the classic image of the bedside lamp has been revisited by Kartell technology and transformed into an industrial product. Made of transparent or colored injected polycarbonate. Take is avaliable in various chromatic tones. The shape comes from the joining of two joined symmetrical parts: two flat, rectangular and two-dimensional plates which each assume the shape and volume of a half-lamp. The internal pleating of the lampshade creates a play of light when turned on.
Material: Batch dyed polycarbonate.
Measurements: H 12" H | W 6.75" W | D 7.25".
Lamping: 1 X 40W 120V E12 (candelabra based) Type B incandescent.

Wonderful product, well designed, nice optics and ambient light.
Highly recommend them. You can add a higher watt bulb if you need to read but these are more so for decor.

Wonderful lamp
Not many contemporary lighting fixtures could be called pretty but this lamp is, actually, pretty. The lighting is more for ambience than for reading, but that is why I purchased it.
It's quite nice, really.

The product looks good, but is not as practical as described
While the look is exactly as described, the quality of the light itself is questionable. If you want to just get ambient light - fine, but do NOT attempt to read with it: the light is more glow than illumination.

TAKE TABLE LAMP ADDS SOPHISTICATED TOUCH TO MODERN INTERIOR
I purchased this item from the YLighting store in Palm Springs by a very friendly and knowledgeable chap named Laine. This table lamp is well worth the price . . . you are getting something that illuminates well when turned on and sits elegantly when turned off. I have the red Take lamp sitting on my metal desk and it adds warmth, while seeming complex because of the internal pleating. Each time someone new enters into my apartment one of the first things they gravitate to is this lamp; another great item by the Kartell group. You can insert a standard bulb or a candle-tip bulb and have the option of using up to a 40w bulb. I currently have a 20w bulb and it is putting off a huge amount of light. I recommend this product 100%. Enjoy!
