In a bedroom that needs a soft light rather than a bright one, the Orbis Table Lamp does the job with a frosted milk-glass globe cradled in a metal cup. The shape goes back to the globe lamps that filled rooms from the 1950s through the 1970s, when a sphere on a stem was the whole idea. Nothing about it has changed much since, and that is why it still reads as current in a room of low, simple furniture. The globe sits low, so the light lands where you are sitting rather than overhead.
