Product Insights
This rechargeable touch lamp offers a compact 11-inch pleated shade that resists humidity and retains its shape, referencing a design heritage that spans from 1876 to contemporary revivals. The plastic shade wipes clean with mild soap and water while resisting yellowing and staining. Its gold base coordinates with brass hardware and mid-century decor. The lamp charges in 3–4 hours for up to 6 hours of cordless light, though using it while charging is not recommended to preserve battery life. Designed in Canada as a Simons Maison exclusive, it remains stable on flat surfaces but is more prone to tipping if bumped or placed unevenly.

Deep Research
How this lamp compares to other rechargeable pleated lamps
- The Simons Maison lamp stands 11 inches tall on a 4.5-inch square base, making it notably more compact than the typical 15.7-inch Bell+Howell rechargeable pleated lamp — this smaller scale suits tighter nightstands, narrow shelves, and reading nooks where a taller lamp would crowd the space.
- The gold-finished metal base on the Simons Maison lamp reads as a decorative jewelry accent, while the typical Bell+Howell brushed metal finish skews more utilitarian — for a nightstand or living room side table where the lamp is part of the decor composition, the gold base adds a cohesive metallic highlight that ties in with brass, gold, or warm-toned hardware already present in the room.
- The lamp is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, giving it a distinctive design provenance that mass-market alternatives like the Bell+Howell line at Target cannot claim — for buyers who prioritize supporting Canadian design and owning an original piece rather than a widely distributed SKU, this badge alone can justify the purchase.
The pleated shade design: a timeless accent for modern spaces
- The off-white color and gold-metal base paired with the pleated shade explicitly reference the mid-century era when such lamps were household staples — the combination gives the lamp a retro-modern character that bridges vintage and contemporary rooms.
- The pleated lampshade silhouette traces back to at least 1876, when instructions for a paper pleated shade appeared in a German manual, and its current popularity is driven by contemporary designers like HAY and Oscar Piccolo — so this lamp is not a fleeting fad but a continuation of a 150-year design lineage that still reads as current.
- Although pleated shades originated in paper and fabric, designers like Kartell have reimagined them in molded plastic — a move that retains the crisp, sculptural pleats while adding durability and ease of cleaning, a practical choice for a portable lamp that travels from room to room.
- Designed in Canada as a Simons Maison exclusive, this lamp puts a local editorial spin on the widespread pleated-shade trend, offering a design point of difference for buyers who value curation over generic catalog picks.
Durability and light diffusion of the plastic pleated shade
- Unlike fabric shades that demand dry dusting or professional care, a plastic shade can be wiped down with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent — air drying is all that's needed — which preserves the off-white color without staining or shrinkage.
- Because the shade is rigid molded plastic, the pleats are integral to the form rather than sewn — they'll never unravel, lose their sharpness, or require re-starching, a common degradation point for fabric pleated shades where threads can break or pleats flatten after cleaning.
- The non-porous plastic is inherently humidity-resistant — it won't warp from moisture or develop mold the way fabric shades can in bathrooms or kitchens — so the lamp can be placed in a wide range of indoor settings without long-term shape degradation.

Cute little lamp
★★★★★Gail M.
Smaller than I expected but I will keep it as it’s well made, and I love the 3 different illumination effects (warm/cool/daylight).
Q&A
4 answered- How long does it take to fully charge the lamp?
- The product listing doesn't specify charging time, but similar rechargeable pleated table lamps typically take 3–4 hours for a full charge [1][2].
- Can the lamp be used while it is charging?
- It is not specified for this lamp, but similar rechargeable touch lamps often advise against using while charging to extend battery life [1]. We recommend charging it fully before first use and unplugging while in use.
- Is the pleated lampshade made of flexible fabric-like plastic or rigid molded plastic?
- The product description specifies a plastic lampshade, which is typically rigid molded plastic rather than flexible fabric-like material. The pleats are formed as part of the molding process, giving a structured, crisp look.
- What is the weight of the lamp, and is the base weighted to prevent tipping?
- The weight is not listed in the product details, but given its dimensions (4.5" x 4.5" x 11") and metal base, it is likely lightweight (under 1 kg). The base is made of gold metal, which provides some stability, but it may not be heavily weighted. For a low center of gravity, it should be stable on flat surfaces, but we recommend placing it on a secure surface to avoid tipping.
