Australian furniture and lighting brand Nau has partnered with celebrated industrial designer Tom Fereday to debut Nola—a sculptural duo of table lamps that seamlessly fuse tactile elegance with atmospheric lighting. Designed to embody the contrast between hard and soft, each Nola lamp is crafted from either solid crystal glass or ethereal pale jade, materials chosen for their natural luminosity and tactile presence. The collection is available in two distinct sizes, both thoughtfully proportioned to suit a variety of interior settings—from minimalist bedside tables to curated living room vignettes.
With their rounded contours and gentle silhouettes, the Nola lamps evoke a sense of calm and quiet refinement. Once illuminated, they cast a warm, diffused glow that enhances the texture of the materials and transforms any space into a serene retreat.
