Description
A floor lamp, 45cm wide, in natural. At 45cm 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. Pine is a softwood, so it marks more readily than oak or beech — and takes a paint or a wash far better, because the grain drinks it in. Marks in pine read as age rather than damage. 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. 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 a foot 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.
The base is felted, which matters if it is going on a polished or waxed surface. At 2.4kg 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?
2.4kg.
What is it made of?
Pine, linen and PVC. The full composition is in the specification table.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Pine varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
