Cliffcombe Floor Lamp - Black

This is a mother and child floor lamp, which pairs a tall uplighter with a smaller adjustable reading arm on the same stem. The main shade throws light upward for a soft wash across the ceiling, while the lower arm bends on a directional pin so you can aim a reading light at a chair. Finished in matt black with an opal glass uplighter shade, it gives two kinds of light from one lamp. Dual rotary dimmer switches let you set each light to the level you want.

It is a practical choice for a home office or a cosy reading corner, where you want both general background light and a focused beam for a book or a laptop. The matt black finish keeps it understated, so it settles into modern and classic rooms alike. Being able to dim each light on its own means you can lift the whole room or drop it to a quiet glow beside a single chair, which makes it flexible from day through to evening.

The metalwork is finished in matt black and the uplighter shade is opal glass, with a 1.8 metre black cable that gives room to move the lamp around a room. It works with LED and halogen lamps, and the directional pin lets you fine-tune the reading arm. Wipe the metal and glass with a soft, dry cloth to keep them clear. We call this floor lamp the Cliffcombe, and further colour options sit within the wider range.
