Description
The Tortola 1 is an arc floor lamp in black and brass. A long steel arm sweeps out from a slim upright and holds a wide fabric drum shade well clear of the stand. The shade is black on the outside with a brass lining, and a brass hanger and brass corner details carry the same warm tone. It stands 203cm tall on a round base with a diameter of 37.5cm. The shade holds three E27 bulbs of up to 40W each. Bulbs are not included, so the colour and brightness of the light are yours to choose. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room.
Because the arm reaches far out into the room, the base can stand beside a sofa or behind an armchair while the shade hangs over the seat. That gives you a reading light, or a pool of light over a coffee table, with no ceiling point needed. It suits a living room, a snug or the lounge end of an open-plan space. It is also a good answer for anyone renting who would rather not add a new ceiling light. The foot switch means a tap of the toe works the lamp, with no reaching into the shade.
The frame and arm are steel in a black finish with brass accents, and the shade is black fabric lined in brass. The round base is dark with pale veining, a quiet contrast to the slim black upright. A soft, dry cloth is all the steel needs, and a soft brush passed lightly over the shade lifts dust from the weave. The lamp runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. One practical note: the packed weight is 22.03KG, so plan on two people to carry the box, and unpack it where the lamp will stand.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this floor lamp outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is meant for dry rooms indoors, such as a living room, bedroom or study, and should be kept well away from water.
Which bulbs does the lamp take?
It takes three E27 bulbs, each up to a maximum of 40W. Bulbs are not included, so you can pick the colour of light that suits your room.
How tall is the lamp?
It stands 203cm tall, and the round base has a diameter of 37.5cm, so allow for that footprint beside your sofa or chair.
How is the lamp switched?
It has a foot switch, so a tap of the toe turns the light on or off without reaching into the shade.
What material is the shade?
The shade is fabric, black on the outside with a brass lining, hung from a brass hanger at the tip of the black steel arm.
How heavy is the lamp?
The packed weight is 22.03KG, so it is worth having a second person to carry the box and unpack it where the lamp will live.
