I'm swooning over Giada De Laurentiis' sleek table lamp: This Amazon dead-ringer is $71
As a kitchen product obsessive (and former full-time baker), I'm always curious about the cooking gear celebrity chefs like Giada De Laurentiis use when the cameras aren't rolling. The Food Network star and cookbook author hasn't led me astray yet; her cutting board of choice has become a favorite of mine, and we both prefer the same silicone spatula. But recently, her influence has extended beyond the culinary realm, as I found myself swooning over a less expected item in her home: a small gold table lamp. In an Instagram photo of Giada and her daughter, Jade, you can see a side table with the aforementioned lamp perched upon it. I was so enamored of its sleek design that I immediately did some searching and found a lookalike ... for $210 (and that's on sale). But, I'm a deals writer for a reason, and with a little more digging, I struck this Amazon nugget: the Brightech Venus Mushroom Table Lamp, which is a much more palatable $71. I'm not a fan of harsh overhead lights, so I'm all about filling my home with small lamps that give off a cozy glow. That's why, as taken as I was with this lamp's striking shape and mid-century modern aesthetic, I was even more excited when I found out that it's dimmable. I love being able to control a room's brightness — different times of day call for different amounts of light — and all you have to do is tap this lamp to change things up. At 14 inches tall and 10 inches wide, it would look so elegant on a nightstand, desk, side table, mantel or even a kitchen counter. And if smart home gadgets are your thing, you can pair it with Alexa or Google Home Assistant so it'll turn on when you ask it to. Amazon customers give this little light high praise when it comes to its looks and dimming capabilities. "The lamp is absolutely gorgeous," raved one fan. "It is sturdy and great quality; you wouldn't even notice the difference from more expensive brands. It elevates any room with its modern design — can't recommend it enough." "I love the high-end look," echoed another shopper, while a third said it was "so good, we bought a second one." "Great dimmable light," wrote a mostly satisfied buyer. "I thought the material would be closer to metal than plastic, but you really can't tell unless you pick it up. [The] cord is wrapped similarly to a new iPhone charger, so it won't break easily." (Note: The material is, in fact, metal, albeit a lightweight one.) "I only wish it were taller," shared a final reviewer, who called it a "gorgeous mushroom lamp." Giada's penchant for gold applies to flatware too — she's been seen eating with gorgeous gold utensils in many an Instagram Reel, and this affordable set looks just like hers. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
