about mottegaMottega lamps are available in 9 shapes and 11 colors that span the spectrum of classic and modern.
Hand crafted in Portugal by skilled artisans, Mottega lamps are made from materials of the highest quality. Faience works with our glazes perfectly – fired at extremely high temperatures for durability, as well as brilliant, consistent color.
The ShadesMottega offers four shade shapes in three colors or fabrics. Every shade is three layers thick, for a soft, diffused glow, and hand-trimmed for a clean, polished look.
The SocketA work of art itself, the socket used in Mottega lamps is one of a kind. Made from solid brass, and available in two finishes, each socket is made from 18 individually crafted parts made to our unique and exacting specifi-cations.
The DetailsThere is no skimping on a Mottega lamp. Every detail is exquisite – from the cloth-covered electrical cord to finials and bases made with sand-cast metals, high-end acrylics, intricate finishes and more. From top to bottom, each inch of your Mottega lamp will be created with care, and crafted with quality
