Now for our show and tell.
Here’s what to look for in a table lamp to get that Urban Chic vibe.
For the urban part:
- Edison bulbs – to refer to the Urban Style’s relation to Industrial Styles. This bulb is one of the symbols of the Industrial Revolution.
- Metal and glass as materials – the same materials used to build urban buildings and skyscrapers.
- Bulbs in metal cages – to refer to outdoor lamps used in industrial zones. They come with cage-like shades to protect them from the elements.
- Machine aesthetic – an overall polished, engineered look that’s characteristic of the Industrial Era.
For the chic / elegant part:
- Shiny, metallic finishes – preferably gold, but silver, chrome, or nickel finishes work too.
- Use of luxurious materials like marble or granite.
- Cage-like shades with patterns that are more sophisticated than the usual industrial caged lamps.
And that’s it for this really short post on Urban Chic Style table lamps.
