Description
The Cabaret is a 126.5cm brass floor lamp built around a curved brass-finished metal column that extends forward from a weighted circular base, suspending a clear glass shade over the floor at an angle. An integrated 8W LED inside the shade provides 3000K warm white light directed downwards, making the lamp function as task lighting rather than ambient. Designed by French designer Pierre Gonalons for Maytoni, the curved form references the fluid movement of cabaret dance.
The lamp suits reading corners next to armchairs, side-of-sofa positions where a surface table is not available, and home offices needing directed light without drilling for ceiling fittings. The 28cm width and 44.5cm forward projection mean the lamp head extends over a book or laptop held in your lap when seated, placing the light source directly above the work surface. The clear glass shade provides minimal diffusion, keeping the light concentrated rather than spreading it across the room.
The brass finish on the metal frame is a satin-tone brass rather than high-polish, reducing reflections under daylight and pairing with both warm-toned and neutral interiors. The weighted base prevents tipping when the lamp is bumped, and the IP20 rating confirms indoor-only use. The 8W LED output is moderate — enough for reading and detail work, but not enough to light an entire room as primary illumination.
The curved column structure places the lamp head approximately 40-50cm forward from the base, which means the lamp works best positioned slightly behind and to the side of a chair rather than directly beside it. This forward extension brings the light source into the optimal reading position without requiring the user to lean towards the lamp.

Frequently Asked
Is the Cabaret dimmable?
The integrated 8W LED operates on mains voltage (AC 220-240V). Dimmer compatibility depends on the specific dimmer switch model. Contact us before pairing with a dimmer to confirm compatibility with the integrated driver.
What ceiling height is needed?
The lamp stands 126.5cm tall and is designed as floor-standing task lighting. It works in rooms with standard 2.4m ceilings and does not require ceiling mounting or specific clearance above the shade.
How far does the lamp extend forward?
The curved column extends the lamp head 44.5cm forward from the base. This brings the light source over a seated person's lap when the lamp is positioned slightly behind and to the side of a chair, making it effective for reading without requiring a side table.
Can the lamp be used outdoors?
No. The IP20 rating confirms indoor-only use. The lamp is not protected against moisture and should not be used in bathrooms, covered outdoor areas, or anywhere exposed to water.
