Whether perched on a velvet-lined nightstand or glowing low beside a lounge chair, each invites you to linger.

8 Modern Table Lamps with Vintage Flair for Beautiful Bedrooms

Fazzo Table Lamp by Sophie Lou Jacobsen for In Common With

Available from The Future Perfect

Like a pressed silk scarf frozen in time, the Fazzo Table Lamp is pure romance. Designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen adapts the Italian fazzoletto technique to create this rippling, delicate shade, grounding it with a handblown base and warm, dim-to-glow lighting.

Decorative glass dots bring a whisper of whimsy. Especially irresistible in the tobacco colorway, this lamp adds movement, shadowplay, and a storybook softness to the bedside. The materials are luxe, the style is stunning, and the mood it creates is iconic.

Float Table Lamp by SkLO

Available from Lumens

A soft sphere of Czech glass, handcrafted with a gently flattened base and open mouth, the Float Table Lamp seems to breathe with light. Designed by Karen Gilbert and Paul Pavlak, its quiet geometry is elevated by a torch-polished finish and simple brass socket. This orb doesn’t need a pedestal—it is the pedestal.

FontanaArte Equatore Table Lamp by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti

Available from Artemest

Part science fiction, part high design, this table lamp by FontanaArte reimagines the classic silhouette with layered luminosity. A pink glass dome meets dual LED strips that radiate above and below a central copper ring—its “equator.” With a soft glow diffused both upward and downward, it casts a glamorous, cinematic light across the room. Think of it as the finishing touch in a space designed for escape.

Fungo Table Lamp by Massimo Vignelli for Venini

Available from IMaestri

Massimo Vignelli’s Fungo Table Lamp is futuristic and nostalgic at the same time. Its mushroom-like form is enriched with the Tessuto technique—fine milk-white canes pulled into soft vertical striations that recall vintage Venetian textiles. Handblown on Murano, it channels the understated opulence of Italian modernism and the quiet mystery of old-world craft. Plus, we just adore a mushroom lamp.

Sunset Glass Table Lamp by Mooijane

Available from Mooijane

If golden hour were a lamp, this would be it. The Sunset Glass Table Lamp from Mooijane captures the gentle drama of dusk with its conical metal base and a warm, softly reflective glass shade. Available in finishes like rose gold and pearl black, it feels both celestial and grounded—like watching the sun slip behind a hill through smoked glass.

Its in-built LED offers a range of color temperatures, but warm light is where this one truly glows. Place it in a bedroom where the lighting is the atmosphere.

Theo Table Lamp by Vakker Light

Available from Vakkerlight

A contemporary ode to vintage materials, the Theo Table Lamp balances a carved wooden base with an amber-tinted globe that seems to melt into the air around it. Its low-profile dome emits a moody, molten glow, while a touch switch cycles between warm, neutral, and cool light—making it ideal for bedside lighting that adjusts to your rhythm. Sculptural but quiet, this is a lamp for spaces that blend craft with calm.

The Laddi by Jenna Lyons for Roll & Hill

Available from The Future Perfect

The Laddi is playful and poetic. Designed by Jenna Lyons, this lamp brings together an unlacquered brass starburst base, a white oak stem, and a handblown Italian glass dome. The result is unexpected and utterly charming—part celestial object, part heirloom mushroom. Integrated LED lighting makes it as functional as it is sculptural and its dimmer cord lets you shift from reading light to evening mood with ease.

Murano Glass Pulegoso Lamp by Alberto Donà

Available from 1stDibs

Bubbles suspended in glass, light refracted through mercury lining—this is Murano at its most alchemical. Designed by Alberto Donà, this tall table lamp features stacked amethyst spheres crafted with the pulegoso technique, where air bubbles are intentionally trapped during the blowing process. The result is ethereal and textured, a lamp that almost hums with quiet movement. Newly wired for modern standards, it retains the allure of an artifact from a Gilded Age.

Final Thoughts

Each of these lamps lends so much presence to a space. Whether you’re drawn to the glamour of Italian glass or the unexpected warmth of amber and brass, these pieces evoke emotion. In moody bedrooms and atmospheric reading corners, they are the flickering heart of the room.
