The Fornos TL is a 410mm table lamp with a cast stone base, iron and afabric shade in beige one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied.

Cast stone dropped from the record for the third time

Our listing says Fabric, Iron. The base iscast stone: a heavy, faintly granular material that reads asquarried rather than moulded, and the reason to buy the lamp.

This is the third cast-stone lamp in this catalogue with the stonemissing from its record after the Celsus and theMinra. Three products, the same material, the same omission. That isa pattern in how the data was entered, not three separate accidents.

Square, compact and heavy

410mm tall on a 150mm square footprint, at2.7kg. The square base is worth noting the other cast-stone lamps hereare round and it makes the Fornos sitsquarely against a wall or into a corner in a way a round base does not. At2.7kg it is solid for its size: the stone puts weight exactly where a compactlamp needs it.

How it compares to the other two cast-stone lamps

• Fornos 410mm, 150mm square, 2.7kg.The tallest and squarest. For a console, a shelf or a corner.
• Celsus 395mm, 250mm wide shade, 3.3kg. Thebroadest and heaviest, for more light spread.
• Minra 395mm, 150mm wide, 1.8kg. Theslimmest, for a narrow bedside.

All three share the cast stone and the fabric shade; the difference is proportion and weight.

You almost certainly do not need an electrician. It isClassII double insulated on an 1,800mmcable. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wiredfittings.

Dimming depends on the globe

Fit a dimmable E27 and use a plug-in or inline dimmer and it dims; a plain globe willnot. Our record says No, which is misleading the correct answer isglobe dependent. Behind a fabric shade a dimmed globe is genuinely soft.

Where it works

• Consoles, shelves and corners the square base sits flush.
• Bedsides, where 150mm square takes little room.
• Alongside timber, linen and other natural materials.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

What is the base made of?

Cast stone, with iron and a fabric shade. Our record listed Fabric, Iron and dropped the stone which is the reason to buy the lamp. It is a heavy, faintly granular material that reads as quarried rather than moulded.

Do I need an electrician?

It is double insulated with an 1,800mm cable, so almost certainly not. The old page carried an electrician requirement that belongs to hard-wired fittings.

How does it compare to the Celsus and Minra?

All three share the cast stone and fabric shade. The Fornos is the tallest and squarest at 410mm on a 150mm square base; the Celsus is the broadest and heaviest at 3.3kg with a 250mm shade; the Minra is the slimmest at 1.8kg, for a narrow bedside.

Why does the square base matter?

Because it sits squarely against a wall or into a corner in a way a round base does not and the other cast-stone lamps here are round.

Is it stable?

Yes 2.7kg on a 150mm square footprint. The stone puts weight exactly where a compact lamp needs it.

Can I dim it?

It depends on the globe. A dimmable E27 with a plug-in or inline dimmer will dim; a plain globe will not. Our record says No, which is misleading.

Is a globe included?

No. One E27 to 25W, your choice.
