An 18-inch petite accent table lamp with a black oak tambour wood base, satin nickel accents, and a white frosted acrylic shade, designed for bedside tables and entryway consoles.
The Tambo Cylindro Petite Accent Table Lamp by Nova California revives a 1969 design by Peter Morelli, featuring a half-round tambour base in black oak with satin nickel details. The frosted acrylic cylinder diffuses light softly, creating a warm ambient glow. This mid-century modern piece is perfect for adding a sculptural touch to smaller spaces.
