The Verik FL is a 1,530mm floor lamp in iron withtwo rotatable shades GU10 lamps in brass-on-black, beige or black.

Two shades, and both of them turn

This is what separates the Verik from every other floor lamp here.Each shade rotates independently, so one lamp does two jobs at once:aim the lower one down for reading and the upper one at the wall for an indirect wash.Or point both into a dark corner. Or both at a bookshelf. A fixed floor lamp gives you one answer; thisgives you a rooms worth.

GU10, which is the right choice for a lamp you aim
