Marlowe Buffet Lamp

Proof that the quietest pieces often have the strongest presence, the Marlowe Buffet Lamp brings sculptural simplicity and tailored elegance to any surface it graces.

Product Description

In design, simplicity is often the most powerful gesture. The Marlowe Buffet Lamp channels this philosophy through its clean lines, balanced proportions, and refined materials. A slender stem rises from a compact round base—grounded yet airy—topped with an elongated linen drum shade that casts a warm, diffused glow.

At just under 32 inches high, it’s perfectly scaled for layering light along entry consoles, dining room sideboards, or bedroom dressers. The 6-inch base slips easily into narrow spaces, while the wider 11.75-inch shade disperses soft illumination without visual clutter. It’s a study in minimalism—meant not to shout, but to underscore.

Style Advice from Rachel Blindauer

Buffet lamps like the Marlowe are secret weapons in design. I often use them in pairs to create symmetry and rhythm on a console, or as a standalone moment to elevate an overlooked corner. To get it right, keep the bulb soft—think warm white at 40W—and position the shade’s bottom edge at seated eye level for optimal glow and comfort.
