The first image: 

It doesn't work for me, although it's not a bad design.

Without the interaction between the lamp and furniture, it's harder for the target audience to get a clear and straight forward visual message.

The second image:

It's such an excellent picture that shows the lamp as well as its relationship with the furniture set. It enhances a feeling of motion, movement, and interaction.
