Neotenic

Table Lamp Tender Resin & White Glass 01 Overview A Tender, Childlike Form

A small, soft-edged table lamp with a deliberately clumsy silhouette an object that asks to be cherished rather than admired from a distance.

Neotenic is the table-light expression of a deliberately tender design language. Its body is built from simple shapes, short thick members, and softly rounded edges the geometry of a creature still finding its balance. A globular white glass diffuser perches on a stout pigmented resin base (not ceramic the soft-edged form would be impractical and fragile in fired clay), the proportions slightly off, the stance unmistakably young. The result is a piece that triggers something instinctive: the impulse to nurture, to cherish the childlike, to see ourselves reflected in our surroundings. Compact at 26 cm in diameter and 40 cm tall, Neotenic suits bedside tables, console shelves, reading nooks, nurseries, and any quiet corner where a soft, friendly glow is wanted.

Design Philosophy Neotenic

Neoteny is the biological term for the retention of juvenile features into adulthood. The Neotenic Collection translates this idea into furniture and lighting simple shapes, soft edges, a clumsy charm appealing to our instinct to nurture and cherish the childlike.

02 Color Four Resin Tones One Personality Each Finish 01 Pink Powdered tender Finish 02 Blue Smoky contemplative Finish 03 White Bright sculptural Finish 04 Dark Red Deep grounding Pigmented through the resin body, sealed with a gentle satin sheen. Each colour is mixed into the resin itself rather than painted on, so the surface stays warm and tactile under handling and won’t chip or peel over time. The white glass diffuser at the top is the same on every variant: the resin body carries the personality of each colour, while the glass holds the light. 03 Proportions Compact Tactile Bedside Enlarge Neotenic Table Scale Dia 26 H 40 cm 10.2″ H 15.8″ Cable150 cm / 59″ BulbG9 mains-V SwitchIn-line on/off Plug optionsUS UK AU EU Best forBedside console nook 04 Materials & Craft Three Pillars Pigmented Resin Body The stout, soft-edged body is cast from pigmented resin (not ceramic) a single, continuous form with no visible seams. Colour is mixed into the resin itself, so the surface keeps its warmth and tactile depth even after extended handling. Resin won’t chip or peel the way painted ceramic does, and the soft-edged silhouette is achievable in resin where ceramic firing would crack it. White Glass Diffuser A globular white glass diffuser caps the resin body, softening the G9 bulb’s output into an even, low-glare glow. The glass is the same on every colour variant it carries the light while the resin carries the personality, keeping the collection visually coherent across all four finishes. G9 Bi-Pin LED Mains Voltage A G9 mains-voltage socket sits inside the diffuser, accepting compact bi-pin LED bulbs. Use mains-voltage AC 110240V G9 bulbs only not 12V variants. Warm-white LEDs (27003000K, 24 W) give the most flattering light through the white glass soft, low-glare, well-suited to bedside or console use. 05 Product Notes At a Glance Bulb Not Included G9 mains-voltage sold separately In-Line Switch Mid-cable on/off 150 cm cord Indoor Only IP20 Dry interior environments

Important buy the right G9 bulb. Two types of G9 bulbs exist: mains-voltage (AC 110240V) for direct wall-outlet use, and low-voltage (12V) for transformer-based fixtures. Neotenic requires the mains-voltage version only. A 12V bulb installed in this lamp will burn out instantly. Confirm the bulb label reads “AC 110240V” or “mains voltage” before buying.

Part of the Neotenic Collection

This Table Lamp is one of four pieces in the Neotenic Collection alongside the Lounge (seating), Floor Light, and Sconce (wall-mounted). All four share the same soft-edged, deliberately tender language. Co-ordinated colour matching across multiple pieces is available please contact us for collection ordering.

06 Specifications Technical Data

Indoor use only. Designed for dry interior environments not suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, covered porches, or any outdoor installation. Keep the pigmented resin and white glass away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the colour over time. Order total does not include customs duties or local import taxes. 07 Installation Setup Notes

• Plug-in operation no electrician required. Neotenic ships with the plug type you select at checkout (US, UK, AU, or EU); plug directly into a standard wall outlet rated for AC 110240V.
• Watch the product video for visual reference of the assembled silhouette and lit appearance.
• Unbox carefully. The resin body is solid and sturdy, but the white glass diffuser is delicate handle the lamp by the resin base, not by the glass.
• Place on a level, stable surface. Bedside tables, consoles, low shelves, and reading nooks are all ideal Neotenic’s compact 26 cm footprint fits comfortably alongside books and small objects.
• Source the correct G9 bulb. The fixture takes one G9 bi-pin bulb, mains-voltage AC 110240V version confirm the bulb label reads “AC 110240V” or “mains voltage”, NOT “12V”. We recommend warm white LED G9 bulbs (2700K3000K, 24 W) for the softest glow through the white glass.
• Route the 150 cm cable to a nearby outlet. The in-line switch sits roughly halfway down the cord, easy to reach without bending under the table or behind furniture.
• Allow the bulb to cool before changing it replace only when the fixture has been off for at least ten minutes.

08 Questions Frequently Asked What does “Neotenic” mean? Neoteny is a biological term for the retention of juvenile features into adulthood the soft, rounded, slightly clumsy proportions we associate with young animals. The Neotenic Collection translates this idea into objects: simple shapes, short thick members, soft edges, and a deliberately childlike presence. The intent is to create pieces that trigger an instinctive nurturing response that feel friendly and tender rather than imposing. Is the body real ceramic? No the body is pigmented resin, not ceramic. This is a deliberate choice, not a cost compromise: resin gives Neotenic its characteristic soft-edged silhouette (which would crack during ceramic firing), and the colour is mixed into the resin itself rather than painted on the surface. The result is a body that feels warm and tactile, holds its colour over time, and is significantly more impact-resistant than ceramic important for a bedside lamp that gets handled regularly. What kind of bulb should I use? (Important read this before ordering) A G9 bi-pin LED bulb, mains-voltage AC 110240V version. This is the most common buyer mistake two types of G9 bulbs exist: mains-voltage (for direct wall-outlet fixtures like Neotenic) and 12V (for transformer-based recessed lighting). A 12V G9 bulb will burn out instantly in this lamp. Confirm the bulb label reads “AC 110240V” or “mains voltage” before buying. We recommend warm white LEDs (2700K3000K, 24 W) the white glass diffuser softens the output beautifully at this colour temperature. Which colour should I choose? All four colours are pigmented through the resin body, so the surface stays warm and tactile regardless of finish. Pink softest and most overtly tender, the colour that most strongly carries the collection’s “childlike” intent; well suited to bedrooms and nurseries. Blue quieter and more contemplative, good for studies and reading nooks. White the most neutral and architectural, works in nearly any palette, reads more sculptural than playful. Dark Red the most grounding, deeper in tone, more adult, good for libraries and rooms with darker palettes. Where does Neotenic work best? Compact horizontal surfaces bedside tables, console tables, low bookshelves, reading nooks, hallway sideboards, nurseries, and quiet corners of living rooms. The
