Kersten has crafted this table lamp from sandstone — a porous stone with a matte, natural surface. The shape is modeled after seashells from the sea, featuring organic curves and folds. The lamp comes in an ivory color without a bulb, so you can choose your preferred brightness and warmth (E27 socket). The sandstone material offers a raw, handmade finish that varies slightly from lamp to lamp.
When lit, the light spreads through the sandstone’s texture, creating a soft, diffused glow. When off, it stands as a sculptural object — almost like a real shell found on the beach, just larger in scale. The material weighs about 2-3 kg, ensuring the lamp sits steadily on any surface.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the lamp with a dry microfiber cloth. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth without soap — sandstone is porous and absorbs moisture. Allow the lamp to dry completely before turning it on again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between sandstone and ceramic for lamps?
Sandstone is a natural stone with a more porous and matte surface compared to ceramic. Ceramic is glazed and smooth, while sandstone has a raw, earthy texture. Sandstone lamps are typically heavier and provide a more diffused light because the material disperses light differently than glossy ceramic.
Which bulb fits the Kersten shell lamp?
The lamp has an E27 socket, so all standard LED bulbs fit. Use a warm white bulb (2700K) for a cozy atmosphere, or a dimmable bulb if you want to adjust the brightness. Max 40W is recommended to avoid overheating the sandstone.
Can the shell lamp be used in a humid bathroom?
The lamp can be placed in the bathroom but keep it away from direct water splashes. Sandstone is porous and absorbs moisture, so place it on a shelf or windowsill where it won’t get wet. The cord should also be kept dry.
Is a sandstone lamp a good housewarming gift?
Yes, the Kersten shell lamp makes a practical housewarming gift because it provides light and serves as decoration. It suits most interior styles and feels personal without being too specific. Remember to include a bulb so the recipient can use it right away.
Does the color of Kersten sandstone lamps vary?
Yes, sandstone is a natural material, so there can be slight color variations in the ivory shade between lamps. Some may be a bit more beige, others more grayish. This is normal for handmade sandstone products and makes each lamp unique.
