The Porous Concrete Table Lamp is a modern industrial table lamp with a textured concrete base and an ivory linen drum shade. It provides warm ambient lighting and features a rotary switch for variable intensity, requiring an E26 bulb up to 100W (not included). Measuring 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter and 22 inches (56 cm) tall, it connects via a 5-foot power cord and requires light assembly.

Product Insights
The Porous Concrete Table Lamp from Simons Maison pairs raw concrete’s natural aging and patina with a user-swappable E26 socket and removable linen shade at 148 CAD — roughly half the price of designer versions — but the porous surface demands seasonal sealing and immediate stain prevention, and the 15-inch shade may overwhelm smaller rooms.
Verified claims
- Price value
- Costs 148 CAD—about half the price of designer concrete lamps—and is praised as good value.
- Dimensions
- Wider shade (15 inches) than similar-priced lamps but may feel large in small rooms.
- Concrete finish
- Raw concrete base needs seasonal sealing, is susceptible to etching but develops patina; described as authentic and chic.
- Stain resistance
- Porous concrete base stains easily from oils and acids; wipe spills immediately.
- Care
- Dust with damp microfiber cloth and reseal every 6-12 months to maintain stain resistance.
- Base protection
- Heavy concrete base requires a felt pad underneath to prevent scratching furniture.
- Aging appearance
- Unsealed concrete base warms to bone, gains sheen at touch points, and may show cosmetic hairline cracks.
- Sealing
- Water-based sealant or food-safe wax every 6–12 months preserves stain resistance and matte depth.
- Stain prevention
- Daily dusting and immediate wipe of acidic spills prevent permanent stains on the porous surface.
- Base pad
- A thick felt or cork pad should be placed under the lamp to prevent scratching furniture.
- Surface protection
- A felt or cork pad under the lamp prevents scratches on furniture.
- Cleaning
- Wipe acidic spills immediately; dust with a damp microfiber cloth and mild soap.
- Aging and patina
- Hairline cracks and patina are cosmetic and do not affect the lamp's strength.
- Fit
- The 22-inch, 15-inch lamp appears larger in photos; it may overwhelm small rooms but suits larger spaces.
- Competitive size
- Shade diameter (15 in) is 1–2 in wider than similarly priced concrete lamps.
- Recommended bulb
- For best light quality, use a frosted LED at 2700-3000K with CRI 90+.
- Dimmer
- Rotary dimmer offers smooth continuous dimming, but only works with dimmable LEDs.
- Socket flexibility
- Standard E26 socket accepts any user-swappable bulb up to 100W, unlike sealed LED modules.
- E26 socket
- Standard E26 socket accepts user-swappable bulbs of any type.
- Bulb recommendation
- Manufacturer recommends a frosted LED bulb at 2700K–3000K and CRI 90+.

Deep Research
What to expect during assembly and final weight
- Because the raw concrete base can scratch wood or lacquer surfaces, a common practice is to apply self-adhesive felt pads — a measure explicitly shown in DIY concrete lamp guides — to let the lamp sit safely on delicate furniture.
How it stacks up against other concrete table lamps
- At 148 CAD, this lamp costs less than half the price of the handcrafted GANTlights S7 (299€) or the Design-Betonleuchten indirect-light table lamp (422€+), making raw concrete lighting accessible without the capacitive touch, proprietary LED modules, and artisanal handwork that drive up cost in the designer tier.
- The 15-inch shade diameter is notably wider than the 13–14 inch body widths of The Brick's concrete lamps in the same CAD price band, yielding a broader light cone and a more grounded silhouette that suits larger nightstands or sideboards where a narrower lamp would look underscaled.
- The explicitly named 'porous concrete' finish is a different design choice than the Target StyleCraft lamp's 'eclectic multi color toned pattern' — where one embraces the natural voids and surface grain of untreated cast concrete, the other applies a decorative pigment treatment, giving this lamp a more authentic industrial texture.
- This lamp's standard E26 socket accepts user-swappable bulbs of any tint, CRI, or smart capability, unlike the sealed 6W LED modules in the Strata or Design-Betonleuchten lamps — making the fixture future-proof as LED technology evolves and sparing buyers from throwing out a working lamp when the module eventually dims.
- While the similarly priced StyleCraft concrete lamp at Target settles for a 3-way rotary switch with only low/medium/high steps, the Simons lamp uses a variable-intensity rotary dimmer, giving continuous brightness adjustment — a meaningful difference when pairing with a warm-dimming bulb for seamless ambience.
How the raw concrete ages and how to maintain it
- Over years of use, an unsealed concrete lamp base will warm in color toward bone, develop a soft sheen at the most-touched contours, and show subtle texture variation — a gradual transformation that most owners describe as adding personality rather than reading as wear.
- For a lamp that receives daily handling, re-sealing every six to twelve months with a water-based sealant or a food-safe wax like carnauba maintains stain resistance and refreshes the surface’s matte depth without altering the raw look.
- Citrus juice, vinegar, wine, and even tomato sauce can etch and permanently discolor a raw concrete surface within minutes, so the lamp base demands immediate wiping of any accidental drink spills on its surface — sealing alone is not a substitute for prompt cleaning.
- Regular dusting with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild pH-neutral soap keeps the raw texture clean and free of water marks, while abrasive pads, scouring tools, and bleach-based cleaners must be avoided to preserve the sealer and prevent scratching the patina.
- Applying a matte, invisible sealer like Lithofin Fleckstop W or a carnauba wax preserves the dry, chalky look of the raw concrete while blocking stains, giving owners the option to freeze the finish as new or to let the lamp patina untouched.
- The heavy concrete base should sit on a thick felt or cork pad to prevent the mineral’s abrasive bottom from scratching lacquered or varnished furniture surfaces — a step that also prevents moisture transfer from a freshly wiped lamp onto a wooden nightstand.
- Non-structural hairline cracks can appear on the lamp’s concrete body as it cures and adapts to changing humidity, but these thin lines do not compromise strength; many designers celebrate them as part of concrete’s honest, industrial language.
- Because air bubbles form tiny craters during curing, a raw concrete surface is micro-porous and readily absorbs oils, acids, and pigments — meaning that spilled coffee or the oil from a mechanic’s hands can become permanent marks that tell the lamp’s story unless the surface is sealed or immediately cleaned.

Q&A
2 answered- Can the linen lampshade be removed for cleaning or replacement?
- Yes, the linen lampshade is removable. The lamp requires light assembly, and the shade is secured with a socket nut that can be unscrewed to detach it for cleaning or replacement. Simply unscrew the socket nut, lift off the shade, and reverse the steps to reattach.
- What type of E26 bulb is recommended for the best light quality with the linen shade? For example, clear vs frosted, or specific color temperature.
- For the best light quality with our linen shade, we recommend a frosted LED bulb with a color temperature of 2700K–3000K (warm white) and a CRI of 90 or higher. The frosted finish diffuses light evenly to reduce glare, while warm white enhances the cozy glow the shade is designed for, and high CRI preserves the true color of the linen fabric [1].
