Lamp Base Tondo Piccolo – a classic round lamp base with a twist. The irresistible colours and soft shape are inspired by an old-fashioned candy shop.
The lampshade is covered in the exclusive Varese fabric from Swedish Astrid Textiles – a beautiful, tactile material woven from linen, mohair wool, and silk. The combination of fibers creates a rich texture where the soft surface of the wool meets the subtle sheen of the silk threads, resulting in a natural luster and an elegant depth.
Elegant and charming, Tondo adds a sense of playfulness to any room while serving as a true eye-catcher. The lamp is contemporary, timeless, and enduring – a work of art in itself. It is just as beautiful when switched off as when lit, naturally drawing attention in any interior.
We recommend using a warm LED bulb, which is both energy-efficient and gentle on the lampshade, while avoiding unwanted shadows. A large or standard-sized globe bulb suits the lamp best.
About the Lamp Base
The lamp base is made by the Nicola Fasano family workshop in Puglia, southern Italy. The craft has been passed down through 18 generations, preserving ancient ceramic techniques that honour the region’s rich artisanal heritage.
Each piece goes through several stages of production, where the clay is shaped and hand-painted by skilled ceramicists with deep experience and passion for their craft.
About the Lampshade
The lampshade is handcrafted in a small atelier outside Eskilstuna, Sweden, where lampshade-making traditions date back to the 1940s. The craft has been passed from generation to generation, keeping the artistry and attention to detail alive.
