• You can adjust the height of the light source and those bulbs have a beam angle as narrow as 10°, usually around 40°, getting it glare-free seems trivial.
    Mirrors, either glass or polished metal, work fairly well for reading lamps, see Castiglioni's Gibigiana.

    This one seems to use some sort of coated specialty glass.

  • With a visible light source and sharp cut off lines it's not gonna make a great reading light IMO.

    As an interesting looking piece of furniture it works well.
