Lucide Cato White Gold Metal Retro Table Lamp 46516/01/31

Lucide Cato: a mushroom-shaped table lamp

Lucide Cato 46516/01/31 is a compact table lamp with a distinctive retro silhouette. Its white, semi-circular shade is made from matt glass and sits above a slender gold-toned metal base. The rounded profile and reflective metal detail make the lamp decorative even when it is switched off, while the glass shade gives the piece a softer, more considered finish than an exposed bulb.

Choose the light that suits the setting

Cato uses one E27 bulb and is supplied without a light source. That leaves the choice of LED bulb, colour temperature and brightness to the owner, provided the maximum rating of 40 W is observed. The fitting itself is non-dimmable. An on/off switch on the cable makes everyday use straightforward, whether the lamp is placed beside a bed, on a side table or on a desk.

A decorative layer of light

With its modest height, Cato works best as a local accent rather than as the main light source for a large room. The curved shade recalls a classic mushroom lamp, while the white finish and warm metallic base keep the design light and graphic. Place it on a bedside table, a living-room sideboard or a small occasional table where its contained pool of light and sculptural form can be appreciated. It is a natural choice for retro-inspired interiors, but it can also add a playful rounded contrast to cleaner contemporary furniture.

Because the bulb is chosen separately, the final effect can be tailored to the task. A softer LED lamp will emphasise the decorative evening mood, while a brighter compatible LED option can make Cato more useful beside an armchair or on a work surface. The fixture retains its recognisable form whichever light source is selected.
