The long, slender body and bowl-like shade of this elegant floor lamp are synonymous with 1920s and 1930s lighting design. Named torchiere (derived from the French word for torch), this style of lamp produces a bright, upward-facing beam that reflects off the ceiling to diffuse across a large area.The opulent scalloped shade crafted of honed alabaster emanates a soft glow and complements the rippled texture of the black-finished forged base. When styled in an entry, flanking a doorway or beside a fireplace—or tucked in a tight corner thanks to its slim silhouette—this regal piece truly evokes the period Athena Calderone aimed to capture through this exclusive collection.Our collaboration with interior designer and bestselling author Athena Calderone brings you a collection of pieces that honor refined and elegant forms.
