The Katrin is a 1,580mm floor lamp in matte iron with araffia shade taking one E27 globe.

Raffia, which our record does not mention

The shade is raffia the dried palm-leaf fibre, hand-wound notrattan, not paper, not fabric. That distinction matters because raffia isfiner and flatter than rattan: where a rattan weave throws bold shadow patterns, raffiagives a soft, close, almost woven-linen texture that glows evenly rather than casting apattern. It is the quieter of the two natural fibres, and our product record lists the material asiron.

Iron and raffia hard against soft

A matte black iron frame under a natural raffia shade. The contrastis the composition: industrial structure, natural surface. It is why the Katrin reads as contemporaryrather than coastal, where a fully natural lamp would look holiday-house.

It reaches out 530mm

Worth checking before you order: the lamp is 1,580mm tall, 300mm wide and530mm long. That length is the reach of the arm it stands besidea chair and puts the shade out over the seat, rather than beside it. Good for reading;worth measuring against a tight corner.

Plug in and use it

ClassII, double insulated, no earth required, with a lead and plug fitted. Noelectrician.

One E27 globe to 25W, not supplied

Behind raffia a plain warm globe is right the fibre is close enough that adecorative filament will not read through it. Dimming is globe dependent.

Caring for raffia

Natural fibre: dust with a dry cloth and keep liquid cleaners away from it. Raffiamarks and stiffens if it gets wet, and there is no fixing it afterwards.

It is a whole range

Katrin is made as a pendant, this floor lamp and a table lamp, all in the same ironand raffia so a matched set genuinely reads as one scheme.

Questions

What is the shade made of?

Raffia the dried palm-leaf fibre, hand-wound. Our record lists the material as “iron” only, which misses the point of the lamp.

How is raffia different from rattan?

It is finer and flatter. A rattan weave throws bold shadow patterns; raffia gives a soft close texture closer to woven linen, and glows evenly rather than casting a pattern.

How far does it reach?

530mm the arm puts the shade out over the seat rather than beside it. Good for reading, but worth measuring against a tight corner.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It is double insulated with a lead and plug fitted.

Which globe should I fit?

A plain warm E27 up to 25W. The fibre is close enough that a decorative filament will not read through it.

How do I clean it?

Dust with a dry cloth and keep liquid cleaners away. Raffia marks and stiffens if it gets wet, and there is no fixing it afterwards.

Are there matching fittings?

Yes a Katrin pendant and table lamp in the same iron and raffia.
