Product Insights
The Openwork Globe Table Lamp by Simons Maison delivers versatile illumination through a standard E26 socket that accepts bulbs from 310 to 806 lumens, allowing the lamp to shift from decorative ambiance to focused reading light, and is compatible with smart bulbs for app-controlled dimming and scheduling—yet its inline switch provides only on/off control, requiring a separate dimmer or smart bulb for dimming. Its all-metal base and frosted glass globe with a circular cutout and inner diffuser suit contemporary decor, while its 12.5-inch height and 8.5-inch globe fit under shelves and on nightstands, appearing larger than 6-inch alternatives. The 72-inch cord and inline switch enable flexible placement and convenient operation, and the standard socket avoids specialty bulbs found on competitors.
Verified claims
- Brightness
- Standard E26 socket accepts bulbs from 310 to 806 lumens.
- Dimming
- Inline switch provides only on/off control; dimming requires a separate dimmer.
- Size and proportion
- The 12.5-inch height and 8.5-inch globe fit under shelves and on nightstands one-third the width, appearing larger than 6-inch alternatives.
- Switch
- The 72-inch cord and inline switch allow placement far from outlets and easy on/off without reaching across the nightstand.
- Lighting flexibility
- Swapping the bulb adjusts the lamp from a 300–450 lm decorative piece to a 400–600 lm reading light.
- Styling and design
- All-metal base and matching collection versions suit contemporary decor without wood grain or plastic seams.
- Socket
- Standard E26 socket works with common bulbs, unlike E14 on competitors.
- Base
- All-metal base paired with glass globe, avoiding wood or plastic seams on competitors.
- Dimensions

Deep Research
Choosing the right bulb for the glass globe
- The lamp's inline cord switch provides simple on/off control, so the bulb's lumen output is the only brightness setting — with the socket rated for up to 60W incandescent, a 40W-equivalent LED filament bulb delivers a soft ~310 lumens while a 60W-equivalent LED filament bulb pushes ~806 lumens, giving a wide range from ambient glow to task lighting.
Where this lamp fits best
- The 72-inch cord simplifies installing the lamp on a console placed in the middle of a wall or on a desk far from an outlet — interior guides recommend adding 20–30 cm of slack for routing, and this lamp delivers that even when the nearest plug is several feet away, eliminating the need for extension cords in most setups.
- With an 8.5-inch shade diameter, the lamp adheres to the widely used one-third rule — the lamp’s widest point should be roughly one-third the table width — so it sits proportionally on nightstands 24–27 inches wide, leaving comfortable clearance for a phone and glass of water.
- At just 12.5 inches tall, the lamp falls into the small table lamp category that designers use on low consoles, shelves, and cozy corners to create focused pools of light at a lower height — a strategy that adds depth when paired with taller floor lamps or ceiling fixtures.
- The 60W max E26 socket can host an LED producing up to 800 lumens, easily meeting the 400–600 lumen target recommended for bedside reading, while a lower-wattage bulb shifts the same lamp into the 300–450 lumen range suitable for decorative console use — so one lamp adapts to task or ambient roles with a simple bulb swap.
Cleaning and maintaining the glass and metal
- Wait 15 minutes after switching off the lamp to let the glass globe cool completely; applying a cool damp cloth to a warm globe risks thermal shock and sudden cracking, especially with the enclosed globe housing up to a 60W bulb.
- After cleaning, handle the globe with cotton gloves or a clean towel to prevent fresh fingerprints and smudges from marring the clear glass, reducing the need for immediate re‑cleaning.
- The metal base needs only a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth for routine dust and fingerprint removal; no chemical cleaners are necessary, preserving the contemporary finish without abrasion or chemical dulling.
- Always remove loose dust with a dry microfiber cloth before any wet cleaning; skipping this step mixes dust with moisture into muddy streaks and can cause micro‑scratches on the glass.
- A film of dust on the glass globe can visibly dim the lamp’s output; gentle regular cleaning restores full brightness without needing a brighter bulb, keeping the space as the designer intended.
- For any dust or haze that builds up inside the globe through the fitter opening, swirling two tablespoons of uncooked rice with a small amount of soapy water inside the globe gently abrades away the film without scratching the glass, restoring full transparency.
- Standard glass cleaner sprays can leave streaks on the globe and may discolor or etch the metal base over time, so stick to the distilled water and vinegar solution or plain water for safe, streak‑free results.
- Dampen the cloth with the cleaning solution rather than spraying the globe directly; sprayed liquid can enter the inline cord switch or socket, posing an electrical hazard, and drip onto the metal base causing water spots or corrosion.
- A mixture of two parts distilled water to one part white vinegar cuts through grease and fingerprints without leaving mineral spots or streaks, unlike tap water which can etch water marks into the clear glass.
How this lamp compares to similar options
- The lamp takes the common North American E26 medium base, unlike the Hadley Decor globe lamp’s E14 candle socket — so you can easily upgrade to a dimmable or smart bulb from any hardware store without adapter hassles.
- Where direct competitors like the GDFStudio Elvaris (rubberwood and metal) and the Novi Living Ovi (resin) mix materials, the Openwork Globe pairs glass with a full metal base, yielding a cleaner, more monolithic look that suits strict contemporary interiors without visible wood grain or plastic seams.
- The lamp’s overall height of 12.5 inches keeps it well below the 17.5–18 inch heights of the Hadley and GDFStudio models, allowing it to sit under wall-mounted shelves or in low-ceiling nooks where taller lamps would feel intrusive, while the 8.5-inch globe still provides full-scale illumination.
- The Openwork Globe is part of a broader Simons Maison Openwork lighting line that also includes a resin-base and a ceramic-base table lamp, so it’s not an isolated design but a series piece that lets you echo the same visual theme across a room.
- Its 8.5-inch glass shade is markedly larger than the 6-inch globes on the Hadley Decor lamp (6″) and the Lamp Boy Palo (15 cm / 5.9 in) — a size advantage that throws more ambient light onto a nightstand and reads as a more substantial decorative object without becoming unwieldy.
- The inline cord switch lets you turn the lamp on and off without stretching to the base — a small but meaningful upgrade over the base push-button on the GDFStudio Elvaris, especially when used as a bedside lamp where the base may be blocked by a book or water glass.

Q&A
3 answered- Is the glass globe clear, frosted, or is the 'openwork' design actually a metal wireframe?
- The lampshade is made of glass, as stated in the product description: 'Glass lampshade and metal base.' The 'openwork' in the name likely refers to the design aesthetic, not a wireframe construction.
- Does the lamp come with a light bulb included?
- No, the lamp does not include a light bulb. The listing states it 'Requires an A type bulb with an E26 base, 60 W max,' and bulbs are typically sold separately.
- Is the lamp compatible with dimmable bulbs or a dimmer switch?
- The lamp has an inline cord switch and is not advertised as dimmable. For dimming functionality, you would need a compatible dimmable bulb and a dimmer switch, but this is not confirmed for this model.
