For the chair cushion there's always 'scale' to adjust an object until
right too.
I'm not sure what you mean about the light, looks okay... I presume you
are wanting a bit of a different shape which you haven't managed yet.
Other than using the 'area light' to smooth out the shadow line, seems
alright. Just need the lamp base.
Looking closer I see there is a cylinder of very white color at the
lower end, guess this is what you meant after all, or maybe not.
Happened to think of something you might experiment with. You could turn
that cylinder into a gradient filtered object which will create a soft
shadow at the edge of the light shining on the desk. I'd suggest
'spotlight' but then you don't illuminate the interior of the light
housing.

Anything you don't know how to do, just ask at the povray.general or
povray.moray (hint, hint) newsgroups (or back here). Answers (wrong or
not ;) are waiting to be given, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
