Brilbette Mother and Child Floor Lamp - Bronze

The Brilbette is a mother and child floor lamp: a tall bronzed steel stem carrying a wide white bowl that throws light up across the ceiling, with a slim flexible reading arm and its own small white shade branching from the stem. It stands 176.5cm tall and measures 27.5cm in diameter, on a round base 23cm across, so it sits neatly in a corner or beside a chair. The light source is an E27 holder rated to a maximum of 60W, and the bulb is not included, so you choose the brightness and warmth yourself. It is rated IP20, which means it belongs indoors, in a dry room.

Its natural home is a living room, a snug or a bedroom corner, anywhere a single lamp has to give both background light and reading light. The bowl spreads a broad, gentle light across the room, while the reading arm bends to put light exactly where you want it: over a book, a crossword or your knitting beside a favourite armchair. For anyone who likes a soft glow in the evening and a focused light for close work, it saves buying a separate reading lamp. The bronzed finish sits comfortably with wood, warm fabrics and traditional furniture, and looks just as at home in a plainer, more modern room.

The stem and base are steel with a bronzed finish, and the white shades are made from plastic and glass. The cord switch sits partway up the stem, within easy reach whether you are sitting or standing, so there is no reaching down to the floor. It runs on 230-240V, 50/60Hz household mains and plugs straight into the wall. Packed, it weighs 4.305KG, and the installation instructions are available as a download. To keep the bronzed finish and shades looking fresh, we suggest a soft, dry cloth.
