Horus Table Lamp is both talisman and task light, inspired by a commanding statue of the god Horus protecting King Nectanebo II in The Met's Egyptian art collection.

Tuck it near an armchair to create a reading zone by day; by night, dim it to elongate shadows and give the room cinematic depth.

Circle of Light
Designing the Perfect Dining Room
Great dinners feel effortless because the room is doing quiet work in the background, guiding conversation, flattering faces, and keeping the table the star. Pair the Voltera oval table with Giuseppe dining chairs for flow and comfort, then layer in the Lazzari Chandelier exquisite artisan craftsmanship in antique brass with alabaster and the Michelino Table Lamp to orchestrate the glow from ceiling to sideboard.
With exquisite artisan craftsmanship, Lazzari brings ceremony without shouting, its form frames the Voltera and sets the room’s heartbeat. Hang it over the table, not the room’s geometric center so light and attention fall where stories happen.
Place Michelino on the sideboard or a drinks trolley. When Lazzari dims, Michelino steps forward creating intimate pools that deepen the room and give glassware, linens, and flowers a subtle gleam.
