The Lyndra is a 1,500mm floor lamp pairing an iron frame in apatina finish with a woven natural-fibre shade in bronze withnatural, or gun metal with black.

Natural fibre, which our record does not mention

The shade is woven natural fibre, not fabric or metal and our product recordlists the material simply as iron. That matters, because the weave is the whole reason tochoose it: light escapes between the strands as well as through the openings, so thelamp throws texture onto the wall behind it rather than a plain pool. A fabric shade ofthe same size glows; this one patterns.

A patina finish, which is unusual here

Not matte, not gloss, not sand patina. It is a finish withvisible variation and depth, made to look aged rather than new, and it is what stopsthe iron frame reading as raw industrial metal under a natural shade. Almost nothing else in thiscatalogue uses it.

Two colourways, two quite different lamps

• Bronze with a natural shade warm metal under pale fibre. The traditional,softer pairing, and the one where the woven texture shows most.
• Gun metal with a black shade dark on dark. The weave becomes asilhouette rather than a glow, and the lamp reads as contemporary and graphic.

It takes up 320 by 250 millimetres of floor

Worth measuring: the footprint is 320 250mm with a250 280mm shade at the top, on a 200 250mmcanopy. At 4.4kg it is properly stable, but it is not a lamp that tucks into anarrow gap beside a sofa.

Plug in and use it

ClassII, double insulated, no earth required, on a2,000mm cable. The old page said an electrician was required; that isboilerplate from a hard-wired fitting.

One E27 globe to 25W, not supplied

A clear globe gives the sharpest texture through the weave; a frosted one softensit. That choice genuinely changes the effect, so it is worth thinking about.Dimming is globe dependent our record says it does not dim, and the record iswrong.

It does not change colour

Our record carries a colour-changing flag. It takes one ordinary screw globe and hasno colour control of any kind.

Where it works

• Living room corners with wall behind, where the texture lands.
• Beside a sofa, as ambient light.
• Contemporary rooms with timber, linen or natural finishes.
• Not narrow gaps it needs 320 250mm of floor.

Questions

What is the shade made of?

Woven natural fibre, not fabric or metal. Our record lists the material as “iron” only, which misses the reason to choose it light escapes between the strands and throws texture onto the wall behind.

What is a patina finish?

A finish with visible variation and depth, made to look aged rather than new. It is what stops the iron frame reading as raw industrial metal under a natural shade, and almost nothing else here uses it.

Which colourway should I choose?

Bronze with a natural shade is the warmer, traditional pairing and shows the weave most. Gun metal with black turns the weave into a silhouette and reads contemporary.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It is double insulated with a 2,000mm cable. The old page said otherwise, which was boilerplate from a hard-wired fitting.

Which globe gives the best effect?

A clear one gives the sharpest texture through the weave; a frosted globe softens it. The choice genuinely changes the effect.

Does it change colour?

No. Our record carries a colour-changing flag, which is wrong it takes one ordinary screw globe with no colour control.

How much floor does it need?

320 250mm. At 4.4kg it is properly stable, but it does not tuck into a narrow gap beside a sofa.
