Lab Desk Lamp
Starting at $5,900 USD
The Lab lamp is our archetypal version of a library light, and a physical realization of our appetite for weight and gravity. At 16 pounds, it is the most substantial of our lighting offerings, hand-crafted from solid brass that is painstakingly melted, cast and folded to achieve a striking, confident silhouette. Each element–from the double-headed curved directional shades to the pulls and the dimmer switch–is custom made in a 150-year-old French workshop, in a selection of alloys with our Roman and Williams Guild Living Finishes and handblown glass.
Available as a Desk Lamp or Floor Lamp.
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer’s Roman and Williams Guild Original Designs are each branded with our insignia and delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Our archetypal version of a library light, Lab boasts a confident silhouette, born from our appetite for weight and gravity.
Double-headed curved shades are directional and rotate; a custom-made knurled dimmer switch is set on the solid brass base.
At once muscular and svelte, Lab is a modern heirloom, designed to last for generations.
Prior to being polished, each Lab lamp cools for two days, exposing any imperfections. If any errors are revealed, the process starts again.
