The swing arm floor lamp was popularised by the New York lighting designer George Hansen in the 1940s. It’s a clever, timeless design that enables easy adjustability without loose cables distracting from its clean lines. We drew on these qualities when designing Chetham, a lamp which features an extendable stand and two pivoting arms, and can be bought with a light, neutral fabric shade that gives a wider, softer pool of light than a metal one. It’s a lamp best placed next to a sofa or armchair to create ambient mood lighting.
Design & engineering
The materials
Chetham has a steel base frame with a choice of bronze or nickel finishes – both give an elegant look that’s a modern take on vintage style. And, no matter which version you choose, there’s also a discreet black bulb holder encased in the same finish as the rest of the lamp.
Design detail
We’ve created this light specifically to give excellent flexibility as a task lamp. To do this, we’ve designed two points that pivot on the arms for quick and easy adjustment and, in terms of height, it can be extended from 97cm to 150cm.
This lamp also features a generous length of double-insulated cable encased within a woven cloth sleeve that’s in-keeping with the vintage look. It has a neat, inline foot switch too that doesn't distract from the clean lines of the design.
