Serax Green Palm Large Table Lamp: Bringing Nature to Life

With this large Green Palm table lamp, Catherine Martin gives botanical decor a much more assertive presence. Standing 87 cm tall with a diameter of 36 cm, it combines a green enamelled sandstone base with a cotton lampshade in a coordinating shade. Its slender, highly ornate silhouette allows it to visually anchor a piece of furniture while maintaining a sense of lightness thanks to the Lampshade’s delicate design. Designed as a true decorative object, it naturally fits into a living room, entryway, or spacious bedroom.

Catherine Martin: A Passion for Decoration

An Australian costume designer and production designer, Catherine Martin has spent over thirty years creating worlds where color, pattern, and ornamentation take center stage. A longtime collaborator with Baz Luhrmann, she has contributed to the visual identity of films such as *Romeo + Juliet*, *Moulin Rouge!*, *Australia*, *The Great Gatsby*, and *Elvis*. A four-time Oscar winner—notably for her work on the costumes and set design for *Moulin Rouge!* and *The Great Gatsby*—she is considered one of the leading figures in contemporary art direction.

A base sculpted to resemble lush foliage

The enamelled sandstone base forms the visual heart of Green Palm. Embossed leaves spread across the entire height of the central body, with deeply defined veins that lend great depth to the material. The botanical motif extends all the way to the base and the upper elements, creating an ornamental continuity from the bottom to the base of the Lampshade.

The green glaze further accentuates this relief work. Darker in the recesses and lighter on the protruding parts, it reveals the details of the modeling and gives the surface an almost tactile richness. The result evokes dense, lush foliage, treated as a true sculpted decoration.

Where should you place an 87-cm table lamp?

At 87 cm tall, Green Palm is particularly well-suited for a dresser, a large console table, a chest of drawers, or a low cabinet. Its generous size allows it to become a true focal point in a living room, entryway, or dining room.

However, it is too imposing for a small bedside table or a standard desk. Its 36-cm diameter requires a surface wide enough to allow the lampshade to “breathe” and maintain the visual balance of the entire arrangement.

How does it differ from a small table lamp?

Here, the 87-cm height completely changes its purpose. This version isn’t designed as a simple task lamp but as a large lamp capable of framing a piece of furniture and adding height to an arrangement. Its intricately crafted base remains clearly visible despite the lampshade and almost takes the place of a sculpture on the furniture.

What materials pair well with a large green lamp?

Its green finish pairs particularly well with wood, walnut, travertine, stone, linen, or wool. In a more contemporary interior, it can also create an interesting contrast with furniture featuring very clean lines. Its botanical motif and ornamental presence are enough to give character to the entire space without adding too many accessories.

With its base entirely carved with leaves and its generous proportions, Green Palm brings a rich and bold botanical motif into the interior. A lamp that combines material, ornamentation, and presence with an almost theatrical flair.
