Steinhauer Lighting

Who is the Steinhauer brand?

Steinhauer is a Dutch lighting manufacturer: the company Steinhauer BV, based in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, designs floor lamps, pendant lights, and wall lamps in a modern and contemporary style, then ships them directly from the Netherlands to the customer in France.

The positioning of Steinhauer lighting is that of decorative design: the brand crafts shapes and finishes so that each piece contributes to the atmosphere of a living room, dining room, or bedroom. The collections cover everything from minimalist and industrial to natural Scandinavian styles.

Which Steinhauer lighting fixtures are available at Designix?

At Designix, the Steinhauer collection covers floor lamps, pendant lights, wall lamps, bedside lamps, ceiling lights, and spotlights, as well as a few lampshades. Steel swing-arm or arched wall lamps are particularly prominent here, alongside arched floor lamps for the living room and dining room.

The Kira arched floor lamp is suitable for a dining table or lounge area: its arched arm hangs over the area without bulky feet on the tabletop. The Ringlux gold ring pendant incorporates LED and a dimmer, for adjustable table lighting without needing to change bulbs. As for wall lamps, the Verel green velvet wall lamp, with its large brushed steel swing arm and Ø 50 cm lampshade, illustrates the Steinhauer signature: noble material, worked metal structure, generous diameter. For reading in bed, the Liséa steel reading wall lamp with a white linen shade Ø 30 cm focuses precisely on the book without spilling over into the rest of the room.

The collection grid displays the daily price for each model, updated in real time by the manufacturer.

What materials and styles characterize Steinhauer?

Steinhauer lighting fixtures are primarily made of metal, complemented by glass, velvet, linen, fabric, steel, and bamboo. In terms of style, the brand is first and foremost modern and contemporary, with touches of minimalist, industrial, and Scandinavian design. This vocabulary of shapes and materials can be found from arched floor lamps to velvet wall lamps.

Metal and steel dominate the structures (arms, bases, supports) in almost all models. Glass is often used on diffusers or lampshades. Velvet defines the most chic lampshades: the Pavone wall lamp in duck-blue velvet, with its steel arc and Ø 50 cm lampshade, is a representative example. Linen and fabric bring a softer touch to references with Scandinavian influence. Bamboo remains occasional, used for pieces with a natural aesthetic.

What are the 3 types of lighting?

There are three types of lighting: general lighting, which illuminates the entire room; functional lighting, targeted at a task such as reading; and ambient lighting, which creates an atmosphere. Steinhauer fixtures cover these three uses, from ceiling lights and reading wall lamps to accent floor lamps.

• General lighting: illuminates an entire room. A ceiling light or central pendant serves this purpose. The Ringlux pendant, an LED ring positioned in the center of the table, is a direct response to this need in the dining room.
• Functional lighting: targeted at a specific task such as reading or cooking. An adjustable-arm reading wall lamp focuses the beam where you need it, without disturbing the rest of the room.
• Ambient lighting: shapes the atmosphere without a specific functional goal. The Gyna white arched floor lamp, placed in a corner of the living room, diffuses soft light that balances shaded areas without competing with central lighting.

Layering these three levels in the same room produces a more balanced result than a single central source. The Steinhauer range allows you to combine these layers while maintaining a consistent style, as materials and finishes complement each other from one type of fixture to another.

How do you choose a Steinhauer fixture based on the room?

To choose, start with the room and the use: a pendant light or an arched floor lamp above a dining table, a floor lamp or swing-arm lamp for a lounge area, a reading wall lamp near the bed. Then, match the material and style to the rest of the decor.

Living room

The living room generally combines two needs: accent lighting for the sofa or reading corner, and ambient lighting for the whole room. The Hyra swing-arm living room lamp stands behind a sofa and projects light over the backrest, without taking up floor space. The Cael vintage floor lamp suits living rooms with an industrial or retro aesthetic. For high ceilings, an arched floor lamp hangs over the seating area without obstructing foot traffic.

Dining room

The general rule for a pendant light above a table: the bottom of the lampshade is placed around 70 cm above the tabletop, to be adjusted according to ceiling height and room size. The Kira arched floor lamp for the dining room offers an alternative without a ceiling connection: its arched arm positions the light source above the table from the side. The Ringlux gold ring pendant includes a dimmer to switch from meal lighting to dimmed evening ambiance.

Bedroom

The bedroom combines reading and ambiance. A reading wall lamp attached to each side of the bed frees up nightstands and focuses the beam on the book. The Liséa wall lamp, with its steel arched arm and Ø 30 cm white linen lampshade, suits bedrooms with a natural aesthetic. For a more contemporary touch, the Litho picture wall lamp with dimmer, in black, L 60 cm, adapts just as well above a bed as on a wall section for decorative lighting.

Hallway and entryway

In a hallway, the goal is to move around without any shadows. A short-arm wall lamp or a ceiling light meets this need. The Steinhauer range offers several swing-arm wall lamps suitable for passageways: they light downwards or upwards depending on the model, without encroaching on the width of the hallway.

What is the difference between a chandelier and a candelabra?

A chandelier is a decorative pendant light attached to the ceiling, often with several arms or light elements. A candelabra, on the other hand, is a candle holder placed on a piece of furniture or a table. The former is a hanging light fixture, the latter an accent object. Steinhauer offers modern pendant lights that serve this chandelier role.

The confusion stems from the fact that in French, the word "chandelier" is sometimes used to refer to a multi-arm chandelier (lustre), as a loan from English. In the strict sense, a candlestick remains a table or floor object for candles, without electrical power. Steinhauer is positioned on the side of electrical pendants and chandeliers: pieces attached to the ceiling, powered and designed for lasting illumination. Consult the Designix lighting catalog to explore available pendant lights.
