I have been practically itching with anticipation waiting for the Habitat Caliban Globe Glass Table Lamp in Chrome to drop, and now that it finally has, all I can say is: go, go, go!
This is easily the piece of home decor I have been most excited about this year. Using the iconic Caliban silhouette, as well as the sleek chrome trend that is everywhere right now, you get a table lamp that will be stylish for years to come.
Dare I say it? I predict that the chrome Caliban will be a future cult classic. This is why.
Ever since spotting the chrome Caliban table lamp in an image preview of Habitat’s upcoming homeware for SS26, I’m not lying when I say I’ve checked the website every day, waiting for it to drop.
Habitat is one of the best places to buy lamps, and I can speak for most of the Ideal Home team when I say we’re obsessed with the iconic Caliban lamp and its impressive XL version, too.
I already have the original Caliban globe light (£20) on my record player unit, and I am obsessed with it. From its trendy spherical shape to the way it emits a gorgeous, orange glow, it’s my favourite piece of home decor.
With retro chrome returning to the high street, and with it a host of stunning mid-century styles, the Caliban globe lamp is an obvious choice for a chrome upgrade. It already fits perfectly into the ‘70s revival that really took off last year, and its new chrome and glass finish takes it to the next level.

Adding a sleek, reflective element to the table lamp, the use of chrome works brilliantly to brighten a space. Its polished, mirrored finish looks modern and cool when switched off, but the table lamp will fill your home with a warm glow when turned on.
This isn’t the first chrome table lamp we’ve seen this year. From Very’s Sculptural table lamp to M&S’s chrome Colby, I am most impressed with Habitat’s. And this isn’t the only chrome look the brand is nailing right now.
This bed frame has divided the internet, but it is actually really easy to style, making your bedroom look effortlessly cool.
It’s not a stretch to imagine that the Habitat Caliban globe lamp in chrome is a future classic. It’s super-stylish and retro and will make a statement in living rooms for years to come.
