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.

Cute little lamp
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).
