Their collection masterfully blends modernist geometry with traditional materials and craftsmanship, resulting in distinctive pieces that enhance any interior.

Can You Mix and Match Lamps?

With the right discerning eye, lamps can be mixed and matched in a space to create a fun, eye-catching, and well-lit atmosphere for your home, office, or studio. With Pletz, finding modern lamps to blend together in a room is easy. Their collection offers cozy, rounded-out options that feel familiar but offer a sleek sense of contemporary design. The Bethel table lamp and Marty lamp can be blended in a room with their similar bases and rustic, dark wooden palettes; coupled with the Altmar II floor lamp, your space will be full of warm lamps and light for all your living and hosting needs.

How Bright Should a Reading Lamp Be?

Your reading lamps should be bright enough to see clearly, of course, but not too bright to strain the eyes or require being far away from the source of light. Consider which types of bulbs you’re using, and find the perfect reading lamp with Pletz. Options like the Tusten table lamp, Delhi III lamp, and Altmar floor lamp all make great sources of light to read under.
