Etienne Wooden Floor Lamp with Linen Shade - Brown

This is a tripod floor lamp: three slim legs of mango wood meet under a round linen drum shade, and the whole lamp stands 46cm across and 156cm tall. The wood has a walnut stained, lacquered finish that gives it a rich brown tone while letting the grain show through, and the legs taper towards the floor. Linen lets light through softly, so once the lamp is on, the shade gives a gentle, diffused glow rather than a hard beam.

At 156cm tall it is a good height for reading beside an armchair or sofa, and it suits a living room, a bedroom or a study. The open tripod base takes up little visual space, so it sits comfortably in the corner of a room or beside a console table. The 325cm cable lets you place the lamp well away from the wall socket. The switch sits on the cord, so you can turn it on and off without reaching under the shade. It is rated IP20, so keep it to dry rooms.

It takes a standard E27 screw bulb: up to 40W, an LED of up to 5W or a CFL of up to 9W. The lamp comes for self-assembly, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Alongside the mango wood and linen, it is made with cotton, PVC, iron and Bakelite. It weighs 3.15KG, light enough to move from room to room when you rearrange. Like any natural wood, mango wood varies in grain and tone from one piece to the next. For styling, the warm wood and soft linen sit happily with other natural textures such as a linen curtain or a woven basket, and the lamp looks its best with a little floor space left clear around its legs.
