Wood Desk Lamp, Carved Cantilever 60 cm

One Carved Piece of Solid Wood Working as a Cantilever Across the Desk

This lamp has no upright at all. The body is a single length of carved solid wood that lies along the surface: it swells into a heavy rounded tail at the back, then sweeps up and forward to carry the shade out over the desk. The whole thing balances as a cantilever, the mass of the tail holding down what the arm reaches out, which is why the light can land in the middle of a working surface with nothing standing in the way of your hands or your line of sight. The consequence is a footprint measured in length rather than width, 60 cm of it, so the depth of the desk or console is the first thing to check. Above the sweep the shade is a plain wide cone in white cloth, shallow enough to put a broad soft pool under it instead of a narrow spot. Three finishes: natural wood, walnut or black.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

How much room does it need?

60 cm of length, and that is the number that matters more than the height. The body lies along the surface rather than standing on it, so measure the depth of the desk or console first: the tail sits at the back and the shade reaches out over the front.

Why is there no upright?

Because the arm works as a cantilever. The heavy carved tail at the back holds down what the arm reaches out at the front, which is what lets the light land in the middle of a desk with no post standing in the way of your hands or your sightline.

Which bulb does it take?

A standard E26 or E27 screw base, LED or Edison, and the bulb is not included. The shade is open at the bottom, so a frosted lamp is more comfortable at a working distance than a clear one.

Is it dimmable?

The switch is an inline push button on the cord, on and off only. Fitting a dimmable bulb and pairing it with a dimmer is the way to get variable brightness.

Is the arm really one piece?

Yes, carved from solid wood, which is why the grain runs continuously from the tail through the sweep to the neck and why no two arms carry the same figure. On the pale natural finish that is plainly visible.

How do I clean it?

Dust the cloth shade with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Wipe the wood along the grain with a barely damp cloth and dry it at once, taking care in the hollow of the sweep where dust settles. Let the bulb cool before handling the shade.

An Ordinary E26 Fitting, an Inline Cord Switch and Dimming Left to the Bulb

The fitting is deliberately conventional. It takes a standard E26 or E27 screw base, LED or Edison, and the bulb is not supplied, which leaves the choice of output and tone to you rather than fixing it at the factory. Two practical notes follow from that. First, the cone is open at the bottom and the bulb sits fairly low in it, so a frosted lamp is far more comfortable at a working distance than a clear one with a visible filament. Second, the lamp has no dimmer of its own: the control is an inline push button on the 150 cm cord, on and off, so variable brightness means fitting a dimmable bulb and pairing it with a dimmer. The plug is chosen at order in US, UK, AU or EU form, on AC 110 to 240V. For care, dust the cloth shade with a soft brush, wipe the wood along the grain with a barely damp cloth and dry it at once, and take extra care in the hollow of the sweep where dust settles.
