Description
A floor lamp, 160cm tall, in black. At 160cm tall it comes to about the height of a door handle plus a metre.
A dark finish reads as a shape rather than a surface, so the outline does the work and the detail recedes. Against a pale wall that is graphic; against a dark one the piece almost disappears. Wood is the one material here that will not look identical to the photograph, because grain is not repeatable. It also means it takes a knock as a mark rather than a crack, and marks in wood age better than marks in paint. It comes with its shade, so there is no second purchase to make it usable.
E27 lampholders, 2 of them up to 6-9W LED, and no bulb in the box. Because it is E27, bulbs are stocked everywhere and you are never tied to one supplier. It is not dimmable, which means you choose the warmth at the bulb rather than at the switch: a 2700K bulb will do more here than a dimmer would. The cable is black, with an in-line switch you can reach without groping behind furniture, and a uk 3 pin with 3 amp fuse already fitted. The head adjusts, so you can aim the light at a book rather than a ceiling. A Golfball shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
At 3.72kg the weight is in the base, which is what stops a tall lamp walking when it is knocked. Metal. Linen.
A shade does two jobs at once and they pull against each other: it hides the bulb from your eye, and it decides how much light escapes sideways rather than up and down. A dense fabric does the first well and the second hardly at all.
