Nordic Wooden Tripod Table Lamp | Fabric Shade Floor Standing Style For Living Room Corners

A tripod base does something a single column cannot: it stands stable on an uneven or soft surface. On a rug, a carpet, or an old floor, a single stem lamp rocks and a three point base does not, because three legs always find a plane where four or one will not.

The fabric shade is the other half of the choice. Where glass and metal shades are hard edged and directional, fabric diffuses across its whole surface and warms the colour of the light passing through it. That combination, timber legs and a soft shade, is why this form has stayed in production since the middle of the last century. Set it on a level surface and check the three legs all bear weight, because a tripod that rocks on one leg works itself loose at the joint over a surprisingly short space of time.

It suits living rooms beside a sofa or chair, bedrooms, studies, and reading corners. Position it beside and slightly behind a seat rather than in front, so the light falls onto a page rather than into your eyes. Dust the shade with a soft brush and the timber with a dry cloth. Buy it now.
