The Farbon floor lamp is a 1,450mm mid-century form with aflexible brass-matt arm and a switch on the base, insix colours black, blue, green, red, white and yellow.

Six colours is unusual, and red and yellow are the point

Most floor lamps come in black, white and one metal. Farbon offers blue, green, red andyellow as well, which makes it a colour decision rather than a neutral one. If you have beenlooking for a lamp that adds something to a room instead of disappearing into it, this is the range.

The flexi-arm actually moves

The brass-matt arm bends and holds, so the head goes where you need it over a book, away froma screen, up at a wall. That is a different proposition from a fixed-angle floor lamp, and it is whythis works beside a reading chair.

A switch on the base, not on the cord

Reaching down to a base switch is easier than fishing for an inline cord switch in the dark. Smalldetail, noticed daily.

It takes a globe you buy

One E27 globe up to 25W, not supplied. There is no built-in LED, despite whatthis page previously said which is good news, because it means the globe is replaceable and thecolour temperature is your choice.

Where it works

• Reading chairs, using the flexi-arm to aim the light.
• Home offices, angled off the screen.
• Rooms wanting a colour accent rather than another black lamp.
• Rentals it plugs in, nothing to install.
