The Downey is a floor lamp with a tapered fabric shade 500mm at the top narrowing to 220mm on a400mm base, in black or white.

We are not publishing an overall height. Our sources give1,210mm and 1,800mm a 60cm difference, which is the gap between a low readinglamp and a tall corner lamp. Ask us before ordering and we will confirm.

An inverted taper, which is unusual

Most tapered shades narrow toward the top. The Downey does the opposite wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. That throws more light upward and outward andconcentrates a tighter pool below, so the lamp lifts the whole room rather than only lighting the chairbeside it.

Fabric, so it glows as well as directs

The shade transmits light through its sides as well as its openings. Combined with the invertedtaper, that makes the Downey an ambient lamp first and a task lamp second.

Two finishes, two effects

White passes the most light and glows warmly. Black contains it,so the light exits mainly top and bottom and the shade reads as a dark silhouette. The same lamp doestwo quite different jobs.

E27 to 25W, not supplied

An ordinary replaceable globe not a fixed LED, whatever the old page implied. Colourtemperature is your choice.

Where it works

Questions

How tall is it?

We are not publishing a height our sources give 1,210mm and 1,800mm. That is the difference between a low reading lamp and a tall corner lamp, so ask us and we will confirm.

Our sources do not say so. An earlier version of this page listed “Height: Adjustable” as part of unfilled template text, along with several other placeholders.

Which finish should I choose?

White passes the most light and glows warmly. Black contains it, sending light mainly top and bottom, and reads as a dark silhouette.
