Modish floor lamp, 50 cm navy blue shade, bronze oval frame

Navy blue, gold lining

The inside of the shade is gold. Lit, it gives a warm light, and the lower edge of the navy blue drum stands out against an amber halo. The stand is a hollow oval of metal, bronze finish, fixed in a flat base.

Light directed upwards and downwards

The navy blue filters little: the light escapes mainly through the openings of the drum. Choose an E27 bulb, not delivered, of 60 W at most. The floor lamp does not accept a dimmer; it has a switch. Class II, IP20: dry rooms only.

A 50 cm shade

These 50 cm of width call for space around: keep it away from the wall and neighbouring furniture so the shade does not touch them. It takes its place behind a corner sofa, in a corner of an office or beside a fireplace.
