Description
A plain upright on a round flat base, finished in satin black and sold without a shade so the top half is yours to decide. It stands 143cm tall, with a base of 28cm keeping it steady, and the stem stays slim all the way up to a switched lampholder at the head. The pull switch hangs where your hand falls, so the lamp works on its own without a floor switch to hunt for. The footprint is small for a floor lamp, which is much of the appeal in a tight room.
We reach for this one where a table lamp has nowhere to sit: beside an armchair, in the gap between a sofa and a wall, or in a bedroom corner that wants a soft pool of light rather than an overhead. The E27 holder takes lamps up to 20W, and the shade you fit sets the character, whether that is a wide drum for reading or something narrower for a landing. It will dim with a compatible lamp and a dimmer, though the dimmer is bought separately. It also suits rented rooms, where the sockets stay put and the furniture moves.
The satin black reads soft rather than glossy under lamplight, and the fitting is double insulated. Keep it looking even with a dry duster down the stem and a wipe around the base, where dust tends to gather; turn the lamp off at the socket first and give it a moment if it has been running. It carries a one year warranty. Because the head is left bare, it suits anyone who likes to swap a shade around with the seasons, and we would choose a linen or paper drum to take the hardness off the black. Shade and lamp are both bought separately.

Frequently Asked
Does it come with a shade?
No, it is supplied as the base, stem and switched lampholder only. That is deliberate, so you can choose a shade to suit the room, and it means the lamp is easy to restyle later.
What lamp should I fit?
It takes an E27 lamp of up to 20W. An LED is the sensible choice here, and the shade you pick will guide the shape, as a wide drum flatters a globe while a narrow shade suits a smaller candle-style lamp.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer. Neither is supplied with the lamp.
How is it switched on?
There is a pull switch on the lampholder itself, so the lamp is controlled at the head rather than by a switch on the flex.
How big is it and how heavy?
It measures 1430mm tall with a 280mm base, and weighs 4.84kg, which is enough to sit firmly on carpet or a hard floor.
How should I clean it?
A dry, soft duster is all the satin black needs. Avoid sprays and cream cleaners, as they can dull the sheen, and never wipe the lampholder while the lamp is switched on.
