Lucide CHARLIZE table lamp E27 40W green marble amber glass retro 23 cm 03520/01/62

CHARLIZE is a retro Lucide table lamp 23 cm across and 24 cm tall: a green marble base with an amber glass shade set over it. It takes one E27 source up to 40 W.

The shade is amber, not green

This is the most commonly mistaken feature of the lamp. The marble base is green; the glass above it is amber (Lucide lists amber as the accent colour). The difference is not cosmetic: amber glass warms the light passing through it, shifting it towards orange whatever bulb you fit. Even a neutral 4000 K comes out of this lamp as a warm, honeyed glow — and that is the whole point of the design.

Marble, and why the lamp is not light

The base is real marble, not an imitation — natural stone, so the veining differs from piece to piece and no two lamps are identical. The marble also accounts for most of the 1.87 kg: the lamp stands firmly and will not topple if the cable is tugged, which is not a given at this size. The finish is matt, with no lacquered gloss.

A switch on the lamp, a 190 cm cable

The switch sits on the fitting itself — you reach for the lamp rather than hunting for an inline switch. The cable is 190 cm with a fabric braid, ending in a Type C plug, so the lamp can stand a good distance from the socket. The holder is a standard E27 with a 40 W ceiling; no bulb is included, and the manufacturer recommends its own 49045/03/62, chosen to suit this shade.

Where it works

At 23 cm across and 24 cm tall, CHARLIZE is a compact lamp — for a bedside table, a chest of drawers, a desk or a living-room shelf. The amber glow and green stone are a 1970s pairing that sits well with wood and brass. The lamp is not dimmable. Protection class II means double insulation (no earth conductor), and the IP20 rating restricts it to dry interiors. The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years.
