Ascent floor lamp with black pyramid base and white lampshade, 181 cm

A black steel pyramid beneath a white lampshade

The base of the Ascent is a stretched four-sided pyramid: wide at the floor, it narrows to the point where the lampshade attaches. The black-finished steel contrasts sharply with the white lampshade in the shape of a truncated cone, which takes up the whole top of the silhouette. The same model is also available in polished nickel with a black lampshade.

Diffused light for the living room or bedroom

A single E27 lampholder takes a bulb of up to 60 W, to be purchased separately. A 2700 K warm white LED gives a soft light through the pale lampshade, for ambient lighting rather than reading. To adjust the brightness, choose a connected bulb with variable brightness. The fitting is Class I: plug it into an earthed socket.

Size and stability

At 181 cm high and 46 cm wide at the lampshade, it needs a clear spot, for example between a sofa and a wall. Its 11.7 kg anchor it to the floor: it does not wobble when you brush against the lampshade in passing.
