JWDA is named after its designer, the Swedish architect Jonas Wagell, and his studio Jonas Wagell Design & Architecture. It is a small lamp built on contrast: a heavy, matte base, a slim metal neck and a soft opal glass shade that glows evenly when it is on.
The knob
The detail most people remember is the metal knob on the base. Turn it to switch the lamp on and keep turning to dim it. No inline switch on the cord, no fumbling.
The versions
- JWDA Table Lamp: a concrete base with a brass or steel neck. About 29 cm tall, it suits a bedside or a sideboard.
- JWDA Marble: a marble base, slightly taller and heavier.
- JWDA Portable: cordless and rechargeable, for a dining table or a terrace.
Where it works
Its size makes it a natural bedside lamp, and a pair either side of a bed or sofa looks considered without being formal. The opal glass gives a soft, even light rather than a spotlight, so it is better for atmosphere than for reading small print.
It takes a G9 bulb. Choose a warm white LED around 2700 K.
