Excel Floor Lamp

Designed by the Manhattan-based Rich, Brilliant & Willing collective, the Excel Floor Lamp features a gold foil diffuser in the shade (which creates a warm glow) and is designed for use with two compact fluorescent bulbs (75 watt). The fabric-coated cord comes complete with an on/off foot pedal.

The Alfred Tripod

The adjustable Alfred Tripod Floor Lamp draws inspiration from vintage Hollywood set lights. Ideal for adding a little vintage glamour to your home. Double up for extra impact or pair with a leather sofa for a complete look.

Ralph Lauren Architect Floor Lamp

The Ralph Lauren Architect Floor Lamp is a chic, classic, and polished design that’s ideal for the traditional homes of those cable-knit-sweater-wearing women. I find it très élégant with its rich red mahogany, and I love how it references the three-legged design of a surveyor’s tripod.

Fortuny Lamp

It doesn’t get any modern industrial than this – Mariano Fortuny designed this light during the Industrial Revolution’s zeitgeist in 1907.
