Overview

The SAMBA lamp by FARO is a table lamp designed for interior spaces where detail matters. Its steel body in matte white and its ribbon-shaded green shade form a combination that balances the functional with the visual. It is a table lamp that fits well in bedrooms, living rooms and everyday-use rooms, but also makes a solid option for hospitality projects: hotels, tourist apartments or accommodation spaces where character is sought without losing elegance.

The SAMBA collection comes from Faro Lab, FARO's own design line, a brand with a long track record in interior lighting. Its products combine specific materials with careful finishes, designed to last and to integrate into real environments.

Installation and specifications

Placing this table lamp requires no fixed installation or work on the wall or ceiling. Simply place it on a stable surface, such as a bedside table, a desk or a chest of drawers, and plug it into a standard power outlet. Before fitting the bulb, make sure the lamp is unplugged. Use only E27 LED bulbs with a maximum power of 15 W. The supported voltage range is 100 V to 240 V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain and in most parts of the world.

To clean the matte white steel body, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The green shade requires the same care: a soft cloth is sufficient. Do not wet the base or the lamp holder area. If you need to change the bulb, unplug the lamp from the power supply first and wait for it to cool down completely.

Design and use

The SAMBA lamp has a clear presence without being eye-catching. The steel body with a matte white finish gives it visual stability, while the ribbon-shaded green shade adds a touch of colour that enlivens the atmosphere without overwhelming the space. It is not a golden or glass-transparent lamp, but its combination of materials has its own coherence that works in various types of environment.

In a bedroom, this table lamp fits well on a bedside table. The light it projects is warm and localised, making it a natural companion for reading before sleep or simply for creating a more intimate atmosphere at night. Its height of 390 mm makes it proportionate for most standard bedside tables, neither blocking nor falling short.

In the living room, the lamp can be placed on a shelf, a console or a side table. In that context it acts as a complementary light source, something that adds ambience without replacing the main lighting. For a small dining area or a reading zone within the living room, it can also work on a side table or in a well-chosen corner.

On a desk, the SAMBA lamp offers directed light that helps with working or studying without depending on the room's general lighting. Its square base of 215 x 215 mm takes up a reasonable amount of space on the work surface, and its weight of 1.67 kg gives it enough stability not to shift with everyday use.

The combination of matte white and ribbon-shaded green integrates easily into Nordic or modern-style interiors, where natural colours and non-glossy materials are common. It can also work in more eclectic settings, where a lamp with its own character complements furniture from different eras or styles. In hospitality projects, this bedside lamp brings a touch of considered design that guests notice without needing any explanation: it is the kind of detail that makes a room feel well thought out.

The SAMBA collection is designed by Faro Lab, which means every element has a reason for being. The ribbon shade is not merely decorative: it defines how the light is distributed, filtering it gently and creating a pleasant atmosphere both at night and in spaces with little natural light. The lamp does not include a bulb, but accepts any E27 LED bulb with up to 15 W, making it easy to choose the colour temperature that best suits the desired ambience.

As for the light output, the closed design of the shade concentrates the luminosity downwards and partly to the sides, making it especially useful as an accent or ambient light in a dining room or living area. It is not a lamp designed to illuminate the entire room, but to create a warm, localised focal point of light where it is needed.

Questions and answers

What type of bulb does the SAMBA lamp require and what is the maximum supported wattage?

The lamp uses an E27 socket and accepts LED bulbs with a maximum power of 15 W. The bulb is not included, so you need to purchase it separately. You can choose the colour temperature you prefer depending on the atmosphere you want to create.

How much space does the lamp base take up on the bedside table or desk?

The base measures 215 mm in length by 215 mm in depth. It is a compact square surface that adapts well to both a bedside table and a desk without taking up too much space.

Is the lamp's voltage compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain?

Yes. The SAMBA lamp operates in a range of 100 V to 240 V, making it fully compatible with the Spanish electrical grid and that of most European countries.
