Black Swizzle floor lamp, crown of smoked glass rods, 152 cm

Smoked glass and black steel

The very thin stem is in matt black steel, like the round base and the circle that holds the rods at mid-height. The smoked glass rods, translucent grey, form an openwork cylindrical shade 38 cm wide.

Subdued light

Smoked glass lowers the perceived brightness: allow for a fairly powerful E27 bulb, within the 60 W limit, to light a corner of the room. It must be bought separately. An amber filament LED extends the grey tone of the glass. No dimmer function. Class II, IP20.

In a dark interior

Against a dark wall, the floor lamp blends in and only the glass crown remains visible once lit. Plan for a socket nearby so that the cable can run along the skirting board to the base.
