The Tambo Cylindro 29" Accent Table Lamp from NOVA of California is a masterclass in timeless form and tactile materiality. This taller iteration of the Tambo series showcases the iconic half-round tambour design in richly grained dark walnut, inspired by classic roll-top desks. Originally conceived by designer Peter Morelli in 1969, this piece reintroduces the concept with a contemporary voice. A frosted acrylic cylinder softly diffuses the light, while weathered brass accents elevate the profile, making it a refined statement for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading corners.* Designed by Peter Morelli in 1969* Mid-Century Revival: Inspired by tambour desk detailing used in 1960s interiors.* Design Legacy: Conceptualized by Peter Morelli in 1969, revived by NOVA in 2025.* Frosted Acrylic Shade: Cylindrical diffuser casts a soft, ambient glow.* Dark Walnut Tambour Base: Elegant vertical wood texture adds warmth and visual rhythm.* Weathered Brass Accents: Adds a heritage-inspired contrast to the organic wood finish.* 29-Inch Statement Height: An ideal scale for end tables, console tables, or entryways.* Crafted by NOVA of California: Celebrating over 100 years of American lighting innovation.* Sculptural Simplicity: Modern, clean silhouette grounded in historic inspiration.* Smart Switch Compatible - Integrates easily into modern smart homes.* Superior Quality - Built with precision and made to endure.* LED Compatible - Energy-efficient lighting solution.* Designed in Venice Beach, CA. - A proud creation of NOVA of California.* Sustainable Design - Our commitment to the planet shines through.* Materials: Black Nickel, satin fabric.* Authentic mid-century modern design by the oldest lighting company in America.* Our artistic background, mid-century modern legacy, and passion for design make our handmade lighting designs timeless,functional and elegant.
