The Vale is a 1,500mm floor lamp on a black metal base with adouble-layered shade in white and black, taking a globe up to40W.

Two layers, two effects at once

The shade is built in two layers white inside, black outside. The whiteinner layer bounces light down brightly onto whatever is below; the black outer layer contains it, soalmost nothing spills sideways. The result is a strong pool below and a dark silhouette fromacross the room a much more controlled effect than a single-layer shade produces.

40W of headroom

Most floor lamps in this range cap at 25W. The Vale allows 40W, whichwith an LED globe means it can be made genuinely bright and because the shade directs almost allof it downward, that brightness lands where you are sitting.

Built for reading, not ambience

Follows from the above: this is a task lamp. If you want a floor lamp that glows and lifts the wholeroom, an opal-glass lamp such as the Inez or Ohh is the better choice.
