Ovelisse | Sculptural Table Lamp with an Open Oval Base for a Calm Living Room
HEITZ / Indoor table lighting
An open brass oval beneath handmade paper
Ovelisse is a sculptural table lamp with a black open-oval brass base and a white handmade watercolour paper shade. Two sizes bring the same airy composition to a side table, bedroom dresser or console.
The open oval is formed using lost-wax casting.
White watercolour paper gives the shade a softly textured appearance.
Choose 52.5 cm or 72 cm overall height.
Both sizes use a 21 × 16 cm base.
Design & Materials
Cast brass beneath handmade paper
The oval base leaves the background visible through its middle, giving the dark brass form visual lightness.
The handmade shade contrasts with the black cast base. Its texture and dimensions distinguish it from a conventional fabric shade.

Lighting Character
A soft paper-shade glow
The white paper shade diffuses the appearance of the fitted bulb, giving the lamp a gentle decorative presence. Light colour and brightness depend on the fitted bulb; the inline switch provides on/off control.
Placement Inspiration
Choose the scale for your table or console
Plan the lamp around your furniture, socket position and the space needed for the shade and base.
Use the larger version on a broad side table or console.
Choose the smaller size where the shade has clear space beside the bed.
Align the open oval with a simple background so its outline remains visible.
Room scenes show styling possibilities. Each lamp or wall light is sold individually in the selected configuration.
Installation
Assemble and position your lamp
Assemble on a stable, level surface with the lamp unplugged. Secure the shade and base, fit the included bulb, and select a plug that matches your socket. Keep the cord clear of walkways and fabrics away from the bulb. Use indoors in dry locations.
Care
Care for the materials
Unplug and let the bulb cool. Dust the paper shade gently with a soft, dry brush; do not wet or press it. Wipe the brass base with a dry soft cloth, avoiding abrasives and solvents.

Bedroom
Common Questions
Combine a soft ceiling light with bedside lamps or wall sconces and optional accent lighting. This provides general illumination when needed while allowing a calmer, lower level of light before sleep.
Warm white light, generally around 2700K–3000K, creates a comfortable and restful atmosphere. Cooler light can be useful at a dressing area or desk, but may feel less relaxing near the bed.
Yes. Wall sconces free up bedside-table space and can provide focused reading or ambient light. Adjustable designs are helpful for reading, while diffused shades create a softer glow.
The ideal height depends on the bed, mattress and fitting. Position the light so it is easy to reach and illuminates the reading area without shining directly into your eyes. Confirm the final position while seated in bed.
Dimming is useful for transitioning from brighter dressing or cleaning light to softer evening illumination. Confirm that the selected fitting, driver or bulb is dimmable and compatible with the chosen control.
A flush or semi-flush fitting keeps the room feeling open and preserves headroom. Check the total drop as well as the diameter to ensure the light suits the room and does not interfere with doors or wardrobes.
Yes. Ceiling lights, pendants and hardwired sconces should be installed by a qualified electrician, who can confirm safe wiring, wall or ceiling support, earthing and dimmer compatibility.
