Overview

VENICE is a table lamp that fits well on a nightstand, on a desk, or in any corner where ambient light is needed. Its shape works equally well in a bedroom as in a living room or dining room. It does not need much space to settle in and, at the same time, it does not go unnoticed in its surroundings.

The collection is designed by Adolfo Abejón with the goal of creating comfortable spaces through well-chosen materials and craftsmanship. The ceramic shade is handmade in a workshop in Barcelona, which gives each piece its own presence. The body is made of steel with a satin black finish, and the shade in gloss black. The combination conveys solidity without feeling visually heavy.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior lighting. Its products combine design criteria with attention to materials, and are made to last over time without depending on trends.

Installation and specifications

Installing the lamp only requires placing it on a stable surface: a side table, a shelf, or a desk. It requires no anchoring or tools. Before plugging it in, make sure the voltage of your installation is within the indicated range. The socket is E27, so you will need to purchase an LED bulb of that type separately, with a maximum power of 15 W.

The ceramic shade can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The satin black steel body can be wiped with a dry cloth. Do not submerge any part of the lamp in water. Always disconnect the lamp before changing the bulb and wait for it to cool down.

Design and use

The VENICE lamp has a structure that logically combines two materials: the steel body provides stability and a clean line, while the ceramic shade introduces texture and character. That combination is what sets it apart from a conventional table lamp. It is not a gilded or excessively decorative piece, but it is not anonymous either.

The black ceramic shade is handmade in Barcelona. That detail is not just a fact of origin — it changes the way the object is perceived. Handcrafted pieces have small variations that make each lamp slightly different. In a market where most products are identical to one another, that has real value.

The gloss black finish of the ceramic contrasts with the satin black of the metal body. That difference in textures within the same color range gives depth to the ensemble without the need to add color. If you are looking for a nightstand lamp with a more discreet presence, the black version works well in spaces with neutral tones or in darker interiors.

The collection is also available in cobalt blue, pink, white, and striped. That makes it possible to find a version that fits different settings: from a modern bedroom to a living room with more personality. If you are looking for something that blends in without drawing attention, black is a safe choice. If you prefer the lamp to be the focal point of the nightstand or desk, the brighter colors do that job without any problem.

With a height of 575 mm, the lamp has a presence on any surface, but does not take up too much floor space. Its depth of 454 mm and its length of 250 mm make it manageable. It is a size that works well on a nightstand without blocking space, or on a desk without reducing the working surface. In a dining room, placed on a side console, it can provide warm light and ambiance without the need for a permanent electrical installation.

The light it projects depends on the bulb you choose. As a lamp with an E27 LED socket, you have room to adjust the color temperature according to use: a warmer light for the nightstand in the bedroom, a more neutral one for the desk or living room. The maximum accepted power is 15 W, enough to illuminate a specific area without saturating the atmosphere.

VENICE is a piece that does not age quickly. Its design does not bet on a seasonal aesthetic, which means it will not look out of place if you change other elements of the surroundings. That makes it a purchase that makes sense in the long term, not just at the time of decorating.

Questions and answers

Is the ceramic shade included or sold separately?

The ceramic shade is part of the lamp and is included. It is one of the defining elements of the VENICE design and is handcrafted in a workshop in Barcelona.

Is it compatible with standard E27 socket LED bulbs commonly available for purchase?

Yes. The lamp accepts any LED bulb with an E27 socket and a maximum power of 15 W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

Does the 100V–240V voltage range mean I can use it in different countries without an adapter?

That voltage range covers most domestic electrical installations at an international level. In practice, it means the lamp works without an adapter in both Europe and the Americas, as long as the plug is compatible.
