The Inez is a 1,530mm floor lamp with a curved arm carrying amouth-blown opal matt glass globe, on a marble base, in black with antique gold.

A glass globe, not a metal shade

This is what separates the Inez from the Marthos and Ortez. A mouth-blown opal mattsphere glows in every direction it gives ambient light to the room as well as a poolbelow. Where a domed metal shade is pure task light, this does both jobs, which is the Scandinavianapproach.

The curve puts light where you sit

The arm arcs over rather than standing straight, so the globe hangs above a chair or a table insteadof beside it. Combined with an all-round glow, that makes it genuinely usable for reading without beingharsh.

A foot switch on the cord

An inline foot switch on the 2.4m cable you turn it on withoutreaching up or bending down, which matters on a 1.5m lamp beside a chair.

Marble, iron and glass

The marble base provides the counterweight for the curved arm; the iron gives the arm its span; theglass is the light. Three materials, each doing one job.

E27 to 25W, not supplied

Behind opal matt glass a plain warm LED globe works perfectly there is no filament to showoff, so there is nothing to gain from a decorative globe here.

Where it works

• Beside a reading chair, with the globe overhead.
• Living rooms needing ambient and task light from one lamp.
• Scandinavian and minimalist interiors.
• Corners where a metal-shaded lamp would feel too directional.

Questions

How is it different from the Marthos or Ortez?

Those have opaque domed metal shades that direct light down. The Inez has a mouth-blown opal glass globe that glows in every direction, so it gives ambient light as well as a reading pool.

Where is the switch?

An inline foot switch on the 2.4m cable no reaching up or bending down.

Is a globe included?

No. One E27 globe up to 25W, supplied separately. A plain warm LED is ideal behind opal glass.

Would a decorative filament globe suit it?

Not really. The opal matt glass hides the filament entirely, so there is nothing to gain.

Is it stable?

Yes the marble base counterbalances the curved arm.

Does it need an electrician?

No. It is double insulated and plugs into a normal socket.

What is the warranty?

Three years.
