The Hyvik is a 1,610mm two-light floor lamp in matte iron art decolines, two small shades in white, nickel, brass or black.

It plugs in. The old page said Lead and Plug:Yes and, a few lines later, must be installed by a licensedelectrician. Both cannot be true. It is ClassII, double insulated, with an1,800mm cable and a plug no electrician, no installation.

Two small shades, not one big one

That is the art deco move. Rather than a single drum, the Hyvik carriestwo 145mm shades at 210mm tall on a240mm canopy. Two smaller sources spread the light more evenly through a cornerthan one large one, and visually they break up the height a 1.6-metre lamp with a single bigshade always looks top-heavy.

Art deco without the fuss

The reference is period, the execution is not: plain matte iron, no ornament, justthe proportions and the twin-shade arrangement doing the work. That is why it sits in a contemporaryroom as comfortably as a traditional one.

Four finishes, two warm and two cool

Brass is the deco choice and the warmest. Nickel is the coolcounterpart, softer than chrome. Black reads graphic, white nearlydisappears against a pale wall. All matte, so nothing glares.

Two E27 globes to 25W each 50W total

Not supplied. Buy both from one batch two shades side by side make a colourmismatch obvious. Dimming is globe dependent: fit dimmable globes and use a plug-in orinline dimmer.
