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.
