houseof. Opal Disk Floor Lamp - Brass

A Considered Brass Silhouette

The Opal Disk Floor Lamp in brass pairs a slender, polished brass stem with a single round shade of frosted opal glass, set at head height so the light pools softly downward and out rather than glaring across the room. It has the quiet, considered look of a piece of furniture rather than just a light source. Picture it standing in the corner of a living room beside an armchair, or tucked into a bedroom reading nook where its glow is enough to read by without flooding the whole space.

The brass finish

The stem is finished in brass with a warm, slightly reflective surface that catches ambient light rather than shouting for attention. It reads well against darker walls, walnut and oak furniture, and other warm metal accents in a room, and it ages into a room's palette more like a piece of hardware than a plastic fixture. The opal glass disk stays a soft, milky white whichever finish it is paired with, so here it sits against the brass stem as the one point of brightness in an otherwise warm, low key silhouette.

How it works

Four G9 bulbs sit inside the single opal glass disk, which diffuses their light into an even, ambient glow rather than a direct beam. Bulbs are not included, so you will need four G9 fittings (a 3W G9 LED is a good match for the fitting), and the lamp is dimmable if you pair it with a dimmable bulb and a compatible switch. It runs on a UK plug rather than being wired into the mains, with a grey cotton flex around two metres long and an inline cable switch, so it is simply a case of standing it up, screwing in the bulbs, and plugging it in. The lamp arrives in two sections and needs light assembly, with instructions included in the box.

Where it works best

At around 167cm tall, this is a proper floor lamp for filling a gap beside a sofa, an armchair, or a bed, rather than a small accent piece. It suits living rooms and bedrooms that want a warm secondary light source, hallways and landings that need a gentle glow rather than full overhead lighting, and reading corners where a soft, diffused pool of light is more comfortable than a bright downlight. As a plug in fixture rated for dry indoor spaces, it is best kept to living rooms, bedrooms, studies and similar rooms rather than bathrooms or outdoor areas.

houseof. describes the design as taking its cues from modernist lighting, pairing a simple brass stem with the soft geometry of the opal disk for a look that is meant to feel understated rather than trend led.
