Wicker floor lamp

A wicker floor lamp is chosen on its height and the shape of its shade: a 210 to 240 cm arc reaches over a sofa, a 180 cm model with three ball shades lights a living room or bedroom, a 120 cm base slips in beside an armchair. The weave filters the light and spreads it in warm white, with an E27 socket and a replaceable bulb.

What light does a woven wicker floor lamp give?

A wicker or woven rattan shade filters the light: it diffuses it around rather than projecting it, which gives a wrapping light. On these models, E27 warm white bulbs (2700 to 3500 K) reinforce that feeling of warmth in a living room or bedroom.

Three positions work: the corner of the sofa for reading, the end of the dining table to eat without switching on the ceiling light, the side of a low unit to light the wall. The 210 to 240 cm arc passes above the seat and lights from above; measure the clear space between the base and the wall before placing it.

Floor lamp for the bedroom and small rooms: what height?

In a bedroom, a 180 cm model with three lights serves as a bedside light next to the bed; a compact 120 cm base takes its place in a corner.

The metal and natural rattan floor lamp measures 120 cm for a 32 cm shade, and bedroom lighting gathers the other options.

What is the difference between wicker and rattan?

Wicker is the shrub whose stems are woven; rattan is a longer, more supple stem from a palm. Both are woven the same way and give openwork shades. Here, the weave covers a metal structure, sometimes completed with iron, linen or bamboo.

Rattan, bamboo, wicker: what the material changes

The weave does not carry the weight: the metal structure holds the base and the arcs, which explains the apparent fineness of the stems.

How to choose between an arc, a Ø60 dome and ball shades?

The shade diameter governs the diffusion. A Ø60 dome lights widely from above and suits a living room, like the Rotan wicker arc floor lamp with woven Ø60 dome placed behind a sofa.
