Overview

HOSHI is a table lamp from the xJeR Studio collection for FARO, designed for those looking for more than just lighting. It is a piece that changes the look of a room without requiring major changes. It works well in the bedroom, on the nightstand, on the desk, or as a light source in the living room. It also fits in a dining room where warm, controlled light is desired for the evenings.

What sets this lamp apart is the combination of a glossy black finish with a stable base and a dimming system. There is no need to change anything each season: the design of HOSHI does not follow passing trends. FARO is a brand with years of experience in interior lighting, with products that combine functionality and aesthetics without complicating life for the buyer.

Installation and specifications

This lamp can be placed on any flat surface: nightstand, desk, sideboard, or shelf. It does not require electrical installation or any work on the ceiling or wall. Simply plug the cable into the power outlet. The base is stable due to its own weight, so no additional anchoring is needed. Before turning it on, make sure the compatible light source is correctly installed, as it is not included in the pack.

To clean the lamp, unplug it first and let it cool down. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth for the steel body. The opal polycarbonate diffuser is cleaned the same way: without abrasive products or solvents. Do not leave the lamp on without the light source installed. Place it away from flammable materials and in a location where there is no risk of knocks or falls.

Design and use

The HOSHI lamp has a clear presence on any surface. Its steel body with a glossy black finish does not go unnoticed: it reflects the surrounding light and conveys a sense of solidity. It is not a decorative piece that fades into the background. It stands out, but without being excessive.

The opal diffuser distributes light evenly. The 2700K color temperature gives a warm tone, similar to traditional incandescent light. It is a light that does not cause eye strain, suitable for reading, working at the desk in the afternoon, or creating a calm atmosphere in the living room or dining room. The dimming function allows the light level to be adjusted according to the moment: higher when concentration is needed, lower for relaxing.

On the nightstand, this modern lamp fits without taking up too much space. Its 400 mm height and 260 mm base make it proportionate for a standard bedroom. It does not tip over easily thanks to its weight and flat base. It is one of those objects that, once placed, stays put.

In the living room, it can work as supplementary light next to a sofa or on a side table. In the dining room, on a console or sideboard, it adds warmth without competing with the main lighting. You do not need an interior designer to know where to place it: the glossy black pairs well with dark wood, marble, matte metal, and also with neutral tones such as white or grey.

The xJeR Studio design for FARO does not seek to imitate specific styles. It is not a Nordic or industrial table lamp in the strict sense, although it can coexist with those styles without difficulty. Nor is it an ornate golden lamp or a rustic ceramic one: it is something more restrained, with its own character. Ceramic or glass are common materials in other pieces from the same range, but here the protagonist is steel with that glossy finish that gives personality without resorting to ornamentation.

Those who renovate their bedroom often look for a bedside lamp that does not feel visually heavy. HOSHI achieves this through its clean profile and the soft light of the opal diffuser. There are no more cables on display than necessary, and the base does not take up more surface area than its size warrants.

For a home desk, light dimming is a key feature. Being able to raise or lower the intensity without getting up means the lamp adapts to the work, not the other way around. A golden lamp or a ceramic one with fixed light does not offer that flexibility. HOSHI does.

Questions and answers

Does the HOSHI lamp include the LED light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The light source is not included. The lamp is compatible with SMD LED bulbs of up to 12W. It must be purchased separately before using the lamp.

Is the light intensity dimmable from the lamp itself or is an external dimmer required?

The HOSHI lamp has integrated dimming, so no additional dimmer is needed in the electrical installation.

Is the glossy black finish on the steel body resistant to scratches in daily use?

The glossy black finish on steel is durable for normal domestic use. To keep it in good condition, it is recommended to clean with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive objects or harsh cleaning products.
