The Serax Table Lamp in Beige Maia by Alex Gabriëls takes a more architectural approach within the collection, drawing on modernist influences without feeling too strict about it. As a table lamp, it’s pared back but still has presence, more about shape and surface than decoration.

It’s made from chamotte clay, which gives the lamp its slightly coarse, textured finish. When switched on, the light comes through in a very controlled way, not bright or direct, just enough to catch the surface and bring out that grain in the material. You notice it more in the evening. It’s subtle, but that’s really the point.

It sits well on a bedside or side table where softer light is needed, something that doesn’t take over the room. There’s an ease to it once it’s in place.
