A nod to the rich heritage of traditional turned wooden lamp bases, Highgate is skyward bound as the table light collection is joined by a floor lamp. The classic timber curves are available in solid American Appalachian oak, or smooth painted tulipwood – our Scandinavian-style pale grey Silver Birch paint comes as standard, or you can choose from 28 bespoke shades from our edited collection.
Design & engineering
The materials
Highgate in Silver Birch is created from solid sections of tulipwood. We use this timber when we know we want to paint on top of it as it’s renowned for its smooth surface and minimal knots, which gives the paint an even finish.
The finish
We’ve chosen this muted grey Silver Birch colourway because it has a distinctly Scandinavian feel – it draws on Gustavian Swedish style furniture that’s well known for its elegance and understated colour palette. But you don’t have to stick to this hue if you think another shade would suit your interior scheme better – make this floor lamp your own by choosing one of over 28 bespoke paint colours from our edited collection.
Design detail
At 120cm in height, this floor lamp is a little shorter than standard versions, but this means it won’t dominate the room and will slot neatly next to a sofa or armchair. Its base also takes up minimal floor space at 25cm, so it’s ideal for more compact areas, and it has a soft, felted bottom that will prevent floor marks if you move it around the room. The lamp also features over two metres of vintage-inspired brown fabric flex and has an inline switch to make it quick and easy to turn on and off.
The perfect pairing
You can couple this lamp with any shade (provided it has an E27 bulb fitting), but we’ve narrowed it down to two that we think go best with Highgate’s tall, slim design. Our Oliver and Henry shades in Warm White suit this floor lamp in size, style and material. Their rounded shapes match well with the turned lamp body and they’re a mix of cotton and linen for a fine but slightly slubbed texture.
Oliver is a wide ‘empire’ shape that’s quite traditional, whereas the slightly sloped ‘French drum’ Henry has a more modern feel. In Warm White, they’ll both diffuse light more evenly around the room than a thicker fabric and they’ll also bring warmth and an ambient atmosphere to your home.
Doing the right thing
This lamp is made with wood from the Appalachian Mountains, a region where, for every tree harvested or decaying, 2.4 naturally grow back in its place which contributes to forest regeneration.
