Faro Link Floor Lamp - Black

The Faro Link floor lamp is a tall, pared back floor light designed by Estudi Ribaudí for Faro Barcelona. A slim upright stem rises from a low circular base to a cylindrical head that tilts to aim the light exactly where you want it, whether that is down onto a book or up to wash a nearby wall. The result is a quietly modern reading and accent light that takes up very little floor space while still making a considered impression in a room.

The black floor version

This is the floor standing model of the Link collection in a matt black finish, built from steel throughout. Where the Link table lamp brings the same shape down to desk and console height, the floor version gives you a freestanding light that stands on its own beside seating without needing a surface to sit on. The blackened stem and shade recede against darker interiors and read as a crisp graphic line against paler walls, so it suits both moody and light rooms. Paired with the Link table lamp in the same black finish, it lets you carry one design language across a living room or bedroom.

How it works

The Link floor lamp takes a single GU10 bulb, rated to a maximum of 8W, which is not included so you can choose the colour temperature and brightness that suit the space. It is not dimmable. The cylindrical head adjusts through ninety degrees in both directions, giving you genuine control over where the beam falls. It is supplied ready to use as a plug in lamp with its own cable and inline switch, and it is Class 2 double insulated, so there is no hardwiring and no electrician required. Simply position it, fit a bulb and plug it in.

Where it works best

This floor lamp is at its best next to a sofa, armchair or bed, where the adjustable head turns it into a focused reading light. It also works well as a slim corner light in a living room or as task and ambient lighting in a home office or study nook. Because the footprint is small and the profile is tall and narrow, it slots neatly into tight spaces where a wider lamp would feel bulky.

Design and origin

Link was designed by Estudi Ribaudí for Faro Barcelona. The brand began in Barcelona in 1951, when Carlos Lopez Lopez founded Lorefar, building the name from his own surname, his wife's surname Orejudo, and the word faro. Faro now designs its collections from Castellbisbal, on the edge of the city, and that same considered approach to materials shows in the honest steel and clean, minimal detailing of the Link's stem, head and base.
