Zira 2 Light Frosted Glass Floor Lamp - Chrome & Wenge

The Zira is a 1780mm floor lamp built around a curved polished chrome stem rising from a circular wenge base, holding two frosted glass shades that face upwards. Each shade houses a G9 socket rated up to 40W, giving a combined maximum of 80W output when both bulbs are fitted (sold separately). The frosted glass diffuses direct glare, turning the lamp into an ambient light source rather than a reading or task light.

Designed for living rooms, hallways and bedroom corners where overhead lighting is either absent or needs supplementing, the Zira provides soft fill light without dominating a sightline. The 350mm-wide circular base gives stability on bare floors and short-pile rugs, while the 1780mm height places the two shades at approximately 1700mm above floor level once installed. The lamp is dimmable when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit.

The wenge finish on the base and accent ring is a dark chocolate-brown metalwork coating intended to contrast with the polished chrome stem — not actual wenge wood. The polished chrome shows reflections under daylight but the curved form prevents direct glare from reaching seated eye level. At 3.5kg the lamp sits firmly without needing to be anchored, though the weighted base can be felt when moving the lamp between rooms.

What bulbs does the Zira take?

The lamp takes two G9 capsule bulbs up to 40W each (80W combined maximum). Bulbs are sold separately. G9 halogen capsules and G9 LED equivalents are both suitable, though the specification notes that LED/CFL compatibility may be limited — if fitting LEDs, choose G9 LEDs rated for 220-240V operation and check they are dimmable if using a dimmer.

Is the Zira dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable G9 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit. The lamp itself supports dimming but requires dimmable-rated bulbs to function correctly on a dimmed circuit.

What is the wenge finish?

Wenge here refers to a dark chocolate-brown metalwork coating applied to the base and accent ring, not actual wenge wood. The finish provides a warm contrast against the polished chrome stem.

Where does the Zira work best?

The upward-facing frosted shades make the Zira better suited to ambient and fill lighting than reading or task work. It works in living room corners, hallways and bedroom corners where you need soft background light without glare at eye level.
