Serax Green Palm Table Lamp: Plants Become Decoration

With the Green Palm table lamp, Catherine Martin has created a light fixture that is decorative, expressive, and easy to incorporate into any space. Standing 48 cm tall with a diameter of 22 cm, it features a green enamelled sandstone base paired with a cotton lampshade in a coordinating shade. Its silhouette remains classic, but the highly detailed ceramic work gives it a truly unique character. The base is entirely adorned with leaves sculpted in relief, as if dense foliage were enveloping it.

Catherine Martin: A Passion for Decoration

An Australian costume designer and production designer, Catherine Martin has spent more than thirty years creating worlds where color, pattern, and ornamentation play a central role. A longtime collaborator of 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. Her immersive approach to set design—blending historical references, textures, and bold color palettes—is naturally reflected in her work for the world of home decor.

A base sculpted to resemble foliage

The enamelled sandstone base is the visual centerpiece of Green Palm. Raised leaves overlap around the central volume, with deeply defined veins that lend great depth to the material. The base also echoes this botanical vocabulary, with leafy forms that seem to blossom at its base. The green glaze further accentuates this relief, creating darker tones in the recesses and brighter ones on the protruding parts.

The green cotton lampshade has a slightly flared shape and a much more understated design. When the lamp is lit, the textile’s texture remains visible, and the light diffuses gently. This contrast between a highly ornate base and a simple lampshade balances the composition and gives the lamp a botanical, decorative, and slightly retro look.

Where should you place a 48 cm table lamp?

Measuring 48 cm in height and 22 cm in diameter, the Green Palm is particularly versatile. It can be placed on a bedside table, console table, chest of drawers, end table, or a shelf that’s deep enough. Its size remains compact, but its height gives it enough presence to work just as well in a bedroom as in a living room or entryway.

What kind of light does the Green Palm emit?

Green Palm emits a soft, warm light through its cotton lampshade. It uses an included E27 LED bulb of up to 5 W, making it ideal primarily for decorative accent lighting. It complements the ambiance of a bedroom, living room, or entryway very well without attempting to replace the room’s main lighting.

Is the Green Palm suitable as a bedside lamp?

Yes, its dimensions—48 cm tall and 22 cm in diameter—are well-suited for a medium-sized or generously sized bedside table. It makes a bigger statement than a small, traditional bedside lamp, while remaining compact enough not to overwhelm the bedside table. Its plant-inspired decoration also instantly adds depth and character to the bedroom.

What materials pair well with a decorative green lamp?

Its green finish pairs particularly well with natural materials such as wood, rattan, linen, wool, or stone. It can also create an interesting contrast with more understated furniture featuring contemporary lines. In a bedroom or living room, its botanical design adds a bold decorative touch without the need for numerous accessories.

With its base entirely carved from leaves, its enveloping green hue, and Catherine Martin’s signature, Green Palm transforms the table lamp into a true decorative object. A piece that brings light, texture, and a botanical touch to any interior.
