The Common Lamp Base is a series of versatile and refined lamp bases which can be used as part of a simple, elegant lighting solution. Featuring a convenient flat-packed design comprising a slim stem and round base, the uncluttered aesthetics make it easy to integrate into a wide range of private and public spaces.
The stem is made of steel, with the base crafted in steel or terrazzo, with both materials available in different colour options. The bases are available for use as a table lamp and floor lamp, both variants featuring a standard E27 bulb fitting suitable for most standard lamp shades.
HAY recommends using it with the Paper Shade for Common Lamp Base for a soft glow that adds warmth and atmosphere to any space in the home.
Founded in Copenhagen in 2002, HAY was born out of a desire to make high-quality, architectural design accessible to a wider audience. Founders Rolf and Mette Hay set out to collaborate with the world’s most talented and forward-thinking contemporary designers to create pieces that are functional, beautiful, and fundamentally joyful.
HAY doesn't just look to traditional furniture design for inspiration. Their vibrant color palettes, clean structural lines, and unexpected materials are heavily influenced by the dynamism of modern fashion, the structure of architecture, and the original spirit of contemporary art.
In today’s world, the lines between our personal and professional spaces are more fluid than ever. HAY designs with this modern reality in mind. Whether it's a sleek lounge chair, a cleverly designed desk lamp, or even a beautifully minimalist toothbrush, HAY reimagines the everyday objects we interact with, infusing them with fresh energy and functional longevity.
