Carlson Floor Lamp

The Carlson floor lamp keeps its design straightforward and its material choices honest. Matt black painted steel, a grey cotton mix shade, and a lamp holder switch that’s easy to reach — the kind of fitting that suits a room without competing with it.

Contemporary and versatile, it works in a living room corner, beside a reading chair, or in a bedroom that keeps its palette dark and deliberate. The switch is on the lamp holder rather than a trailing cord, which is the detail that often goes unappreciated until you need it.
