Modish floor lamp, taupe shade, bronze-finish oval frame

Taupe and bronze, tone on tone

The metal loop, bronze finish, rests in a rectangular base. The taupe of the shade, between grey and brown, picks up the tone of the metal without copying it, and the silver lining inside brightens the top of the socket.

E27 socket and switch

The light works with an E27 bulb of 60 W maximum, to be bought separately. For an office or reading corner, a warm white LED between 2700 and 3000 K gives enough clarity without hardening the taupe. A switch is fitted to the floor lamp. Class II, IP20: for use in a dry room.

Near a bookcase

The shade measures 45 cm wide. Placed against a bookcase or behind a club armchair, the floor lamp lights the spines of the books and the top of the seat. Leave a few centimetres between the shade and the shelves.
