The Placin is a 1,600mm floor lamp with anivory fabric drum shade on a white marble base, inantique gold or bronze and its height adjusts.

Adjustable height, which most floor lamps are not

The stem telescopes, so you can set the shade at reading height beside a chair or lift it to clear asofa arm. That single feature is worth more in practice than most decorative details the same lamp works beside a low armchair and a high-backed sofa.

Antique gold or bronze not brass or copper

Our old copy called them brass and copper. The stocked finishes areantique gold (warm, soft, slightly aged) and bronze (darker,browner). Both are matt rather than polished.

A wide ivory drum

400mm of fabric diffuses in every direction, so the Placin lights theroom as well as the chair. Ivory rather than white keeps the light warm-toned worth knowing ifyou are matching it to cool-white downlights.

White marble at the base

Stone gives a tall adjustable lamp the stability it needs, and white marble is lighter visually thanthe black marble used elsewhere in the range. Being natural, every base is veined differently.
