A 29-inch table lamp with a walnut tambour base, weathered brass accents, and a frosted acrylic shade, designed for living rooms and bedrooms.
The Tambo Cylindro lamp from NOVA of California is a masterclass in timeless form and tactile materiality. This taller iteration of the Tambo series showcases the iconic half-round tambour design in richly grained dark walnut, inspired by classic roll-top desks. Originally conceived by designer Peter Morelli in 1969, this piece reintroduces the concept with a contemporary voice. A frosted acrylic cylinder softly diffuses the light, while weathered brass accents elevate the profile, making it a refined statement for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading corners.
Best for
- Living rooms with end tables or console tables, providing ambient or task lighting
- Bedrooms on nightstands, paired with a dimmer for reading light
- Entryways or hallways on a console table, adding a sculptural accent
- Home offices on a desk, offering soft task lighting
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright, direct task lighting - this lamp provides soft ambient glow

How bright is it?
With a 14W LED bulb (included), this lamp produces approximately 800 lumens - about as bright as a 60W incandescent bulb, ideal for ambient or accent lighting. The frosted acrylic shade diffuses the light for a soft, glare-free glow.
Light color and feel
The included bulb is 3000K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent. It flatters skin tones and warm wood/brass interiors. The lamp is dimmable, allowing you to adjust brightness to suit the mood.
Sizing and fit
The lamp measures 9 inches wide by 9 inches deep by 29 inches tall. It fits well on end tables, nightstands, or console tables with a surface at least 9 inches square. The 6-foot cord provides flexibility in placement.
