A black lacquered dome on a bronze stem
The Blanca is made up of three elements: a half-sphere lampshade, black on the outside and gold on the inside, a straight metal stem in a bronze finish and a matching flat, round base. The gold interior stays visible as you walk past and reflects the light towards the floor. A pull chain hangs below the edge of the dome for switching on.
Two E27 bulbs under the lampshade
The light takes two E27 bulbs of 40 W maximum each, to be purchased separately. It has variable intensity: in that case, choose LED bulbs marked as dimmable. For a soft light in a living room or bedroom, choose a 2700 K colour temperature. Its IP20 rating makes it suitable for dry rooms only, and Class II means double insulation, with no earth wire.
Dimensions and placement
The dome measures 35 cm in both width and depth, which lets the floor lamp slip in between an armchair and a wall. It weighs 6.15 kg and its cable is 200 cm long, enough to reach a nearby socket without an extension lead. Place it slightly behind the seat, with the dome above your shoulder, to read without being dazzled.
