The Mid-Century Wood & Glass Disc Table Lamp showcases a refined mid-century aesthetic with its curved wooden base and luminous amber glass disc. Its sculptural form adds visual interest to nightstands, consoles, or desks, introducing organic warmth and timeless character to any interior without overwhelming the space.
The combination of smooth wood and translucent glass creates subtle contrast and texture, enhancing surrounding surfaces with understated elegance. Designed as both a functional accent and a decorative object, this table lamp elevates the room with quiet sophistication and classic charm.
Why This One
A Disc of Amber Light in a Wooden Arch
Most table lamps hide their light behind a fabric shade. This one puts it on show: a single disc of amber glass, lit from behind, framed by a bent arch of wood.
Switched off, it is a small sculpture. Switched on, it is the warmest thing in the room.
Hand-Blown Amber Glass
Each disc is blown and shaped by hand, so the colour deepens slightly toward the edge and small variations in the glass are part of the piece.
A Curved Solid Wood Arch
The disc sits inside a single bent arch of solid wood with a walnut-colour finish — the kind of line mid-century furniture was built on.
Weighted Low, Hard to Knock Over
The base carries its weight close to the table, so the lamp stays put on a busy nightstand or beside a cat's favourite windowsill.
No Bulb to Buy
The LED is integrated and hidden behind the glass. Plug it in, click the inline switch, and the disc glows warm.
Buying a Pair
Two Nightstands, Two Lamps
Most of these go up in twos, either side of a bed or at each end of a console. Set the quantity to 2 and the discs are picked together, so both glow the same shade of amber.
The glass is hand-blown and the wood grain is natural, so a lamp ordered months later will not match the first one as closely.
Specifications
Features & Details
Plug in and switch on: this is a plug-in table lamp with an integrated LED and an inline cord switch. There is nothing to wire and no bulb to choose.
Find Your Fit
Same Width, Two Heights
Both versions are 8.7″ across. The only choice is how tall the arch stands.
Short · H 9.8″
⌀ 8.7″ wide
22 × 25 cm
Nightstands, bookshelves and low side tables, where a taller lamp would crowd the shelf above or the headboard.
Tall · H 12.6″
⌀ 8.7″ wide
22 × 32 cm
Console tables, desks and entry tables, where the lamp needs a little more height to hold its own.
Both heights side by side — the short 9.8″ and the tall 12.6″.
Off and On
Pale Amber by Day, Honey by Night
Tap either lamp to switch it on. Unlit, the glass is a soft amber disc; lit, the colour deepens and the wood catches the glow.

Where It Goes
A Small Lamp That Changes a Corner
Four places it works best, and which height to choose for each.
Entry ConsoleTall · 12.6″
The first thing you see coming home. One beside a bowl for keys, or a pair at either end framing a mirror.
BedsideShort · 9.8″
Bought in pairs more than any other way. Soft enough to leave on while you fall asleep.
Desk & StudyTall · 12.6″
Warm background light for evenings, lifted above the screen line so it never reflects in the monitor.
Living Room Side TableShort · 9.8″
Beside the sofa, low enough to read by and warm enough to leave on through the evening.
Buying a pair? set the quantity to 2. The glass is hand-blown, so we pick the two discs to match as closely as possible in tone.
The Design
When the Bulb Stopped Hiding
For most of lamp history the light was something to cover up: a bulb, a fabric shade, a room lit by reflection. Mid-century designers took the opposite view, and the light source became the shape of the object.
This lamp follows that line. The glow is a single disc of glass, held up by a bent arch of wood the way a frame holds a picture. Nothing is hidden: you see the light, the glass it passes through and the grain of the wood around it.
Wood, glass, light — and nothing else in the way.
The Materials
Wood You Can Feel, Glass You Can See Through
Hand-Blown Amber Glass
Blown and shaped by hand rather than pressed in a mould. Look closely and you may find a tiny bubble or a slight shift in tone — the marks of glass made one piece at a time.
Solid Wood, Walnut Finish
A natural wood arch and base with visible grain. No two lamps have exactly the same grain pattern, and the finish deepens slowly with years of light and handling.
Worth knowing: because both the glass and the wood are natural, the colour of your lamp can differ slightly from these photos. That is the material, not a defect.
The Materials, Compared
Blown Glass and Solid Wood, Not Acrylic and Veneer
Plenty of lamps copy this silhouette in moulded acrylic on a printed-grain base. Here is where the two part company.
The short version: a mould can copy the shape of this lamp in an afternoon. It cannot copy what light does inside hand-blown glass.
Giving It
A Lamp That Wraps Well
Plug-in, no bulb to buy and no wiring — the easiest kind of lighting to give to someone else.
Housewarming
Warm light with nothing to install — it works the moment the box is open.
Wedding or anniversary
A pair, one for each nightstand, in hand-blown glass rather than something mass-produced.
Birthday or holiday
Small enough to wrap, good-looking enough to sit out all year.
