Kakasi Rattan Floor Lamp - Natural

This is a tall floor lamp with a woven shade on a slim wooden stem, made from rattan, iron and rubberwood in a natural finish. It stands 160cm tall and is 40cm across, with a round wooden base that keeps its footprint modest. The shade widens gently towards a deeper band of weave around its lower rim. On its own the shade is 35.5cm wide, 33cm long and 40.6cm tall: big enough to give a room a clear focal point without crowding it. At 6.25KG it has real weight to it.

A rattan floor lamp like this suits the corner of a living room beside an armchair or bench, a bedroom where the overhead light feels too bright, or a reading spot by a window. The switch sits on the cord, so you can turn it on and off without reaching up under the shade. The 200cm cable gives you room to place it away from the socket. It takes an E27 bulb, the common screw fitting, at up to 40W, or an LED of up to 5W or a CFL of up to 9W. The bulb is not included. It is rated IP20, so it belongs in dry rooms.

The materials do the talking: the woven shade brings texture, and the smooth wooden stem and base give it a clean line underneath. A woven shade lets light through its weave as well as above and below, so it gives a softer glow than a solid one. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can read how it goes together before it arrives. For styling, pair it with other natural textures such as linen, wool or a jute rug, and let its 160cm height balance a low sofa or bench beside it.
