Description
A floor lamp, 47cm wide, in green. At 47cm wide it is a little narrower than a standard interior door.
A natural, unpainted finish shows the material doing its own work — the grain, the weave or the fibre is the decoration, and no two pieces are identical because no two lengths of the raw material are. Rattan is a climbing palm, steamed and bent rather than cut and joined, which is why the curves are continuous and the whole piece weighs so little. Every length differs slightly in colour, so no two pieces match exactly. It comes with its shade, so there is no second purchase to make it usable.
E27 lampholder, 1 of them up to 10-12W LED, and no bulb in the box. Because it is E27, bulbs are stocked everywhere and you are never tied to one supplier. There is no dimmer, so the character of the light is set by the bulb you choose: 2700K reads warm, 4000K reads cool and clinical. 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 felt base means it can sit on a waxed top without leaving a ring. At 3.8kg the weight is in the base, which is what stops a tall lamp walking when it is knocked. A GLS shaped bulb, which is the word to look for on the box.
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.

Frequently Asked
Does this floor lamp come with a shade?
Yes. The shade is included, so there is nothing further to buy to use it.
What bulb does it take?
1 E27 screw-fit bulb, up to 10-12W LED. Bulbs are not included. It is not dimmable, so choose the colour temperature at the bulb: 2700K is the warm end.
Will it mark a polished surface?
No. The base is felted, so it is safe on a waxed or polished top.
How heavy is it?
3.8kg.
What is it made of?
Rattan, cotton and steel. The full composition is in the specification table.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Rattan varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
