Searchlight Chelsea 1 Light Floor Lamp - Latte Metal & Plush Shade

A Softer Kind of Floor Lamp

The Chelsea floor lamp swaps the usual hard drum shade for something you actually want to touch. Its boucle style shade is worked in a synthetic cashmere fabric with a deep, looped texture, sitting on a slim latte finished metal stem that keeps the whole thing feeling light rather than bulky. It is the kind of piece that softens a corner instead of just filling it.

Latte Metal and Plush Shade

The stem and square foot plate come in a warm latte metal finish, a soft toned neutral that reads more bronze than black. Above it sits the cream boucle shade, its curly textured surface catching light unevenly for a gentle, textile look rather than a flat glow. Together they suit warm neutral schemes, boucle and linen upholstery, and timber furniture in living rooms, bedrooms or hallways.

How It Works

• Takes 1 x E27 bulb, around 6W LED (60W incandescent equivalent), not included
• Not dimmable
• Stands 150cm tall with a 35cm diameter shade and a 20cm square base
• Weighted square base keeps the tall, slender stem stable on its own
• Class II construction, no earth connection needed
• Simple freestanding setup, just position and connect to a nearby socket

Where It Works Best

Chelsea is built for ambient, everyday light rather than close up task work. Stand it beside a sofa or armchair for evening reading, in a bedroom corner as a soft alternative to an overhead light, or in a hallway or dining room where a warm glow matters more than brightness. Because the shade diffuses light across its whole surface rather than throwing it downward, it works well as a second or third light source in a room rather than the only one.

Good to Know

• IP20 rated, for dry indoor rooms only

Questions People Ask

Does the Chelsea floor lamp work with a dimmer switch?
No. This fixture is not dimmable, so it is designed to be used at a single fixed brightness.

What bulb does the Chelsea floor lamp need?
It takes a single E27 bulb. An LED of around 6W (the equivalent brightness of an old 60W incandescent bulb) is a good match, and the bulb is not included.

Is the shade real cashmere?
No. The shade is made from a synthetic cashmere style fabric, which gives a similar soft, looped texture to natural cashmere without using animal fibre.

How stable is the base given how tall the lamp is?
The lamp stands 150cm tall on a weighted 20cm square base, which is designed to keep the slender stem upright and stable on a flat floor.
