Description
The Rio is a slim iron floor lamp with a dome shade on a straight stem, finished in green from the shade down to the round disc base. It stands 120cm tall, with a shade 15cm tall and 16cm across sitting at the top of the stem, and a base 20cm across that keeps its footprint small. The dome holds two G9 lamp holders, so it takes two G9 lamps, and it runs on a 220-240V supply through a 2m cable, which gives you some freedom in where it stands relative to a socket.
At 120cm it is a lamp to stand beside an armchair, the end of a sofa or a bed, where the shade sits close to where you sit and read. It suits a reading corner in a living room, a bedroom, a study or a hallway, and its plain lines sit well in a modern or Scandinavian scheme. The narrow base tucks into the gap beside furniture where a wider lamp would not fit. It is rated IP20, which means it is for dry rooms only. It switches on and off rather than dimming, so there is no dimmer to buy or match; you simply get a steady light whenever you want it.
We like how honest its build is: an iron structure with a plastic cable, and the green finish carried over the head, stem and base alike, so the whole lamp reads as one colour from top to bottom. It carries a 3 year guarantee. For styling, set it just behind the arm of a chair so the dome sits a little above your shoulder when you are seated, and let the green rest alongside oak, linen and other muted tones.
