Description
The Fernhaven fabric floor lamp reaches 1500mm, the taller of the two Fernhaven floor lights, with a 400mm fabric shade on a brushed aged brass stem and a white marble base. The fabric shade is the difference: it diffuses the light more softly than a metal or glass one, so the fitting gives a warm even wash rather than a defined pool. One E27 LED lamp at 10W sits inside, and it weighs 6.6kg.
Soft light at this height suits a sitting room where the aim is atmosphere as much as function: beside a sofa, behind an armchair, or in the corner of a bedroom you want to feel calm rather than bright. It also does well in a snug or a home office where a hard downward beam would be tiring on the eyes. Because the fabric spreads light rather than aiming it, this is the Fernhaven floor light to choose when you want the room lit and not the page. It is not dimmable, so wire it into a switched socket if you want to work it from the wall. We would pick the fabric shade for a sitting room and the other Fernhaven floor lamp for reading.
The stem and fittings are metal in brushed aged brass, matt rather than polished, and the base is natural white marble. Vacuum the fabric shade gently with the upholstery head on a low setting and keep it dry; water will mark most shade fabrics. Check the shade sits square on its frame after the lamp has been moved, as fabric shades knock out of true easily. Dust the brass with a dry cloth and keep acidic cleaners off the marble. A matching Fernhaven fabric table lamp pairs with it neatly.
