Lucas Floor Lamp Base – Warm Burl

Inspired by an antique found by our Design Director, the playful form of the Lucas Floor Lamp is also incredibly elegant. Narrow hand-pleated off-white linen lampshades sit on a trio of precisely formed antique-brass curving arms that extend upwards to hold the bulbs. These are arranged at staggered heights to encourage the light to climb around the room. The burl wood base sits upon three brass ball feet which complement the piece. Burl wood has a beautiful and unusual grain – this is a cross section of the knots that form on trees, and so features a swirling pattern referred to as a ‘wild grain’, that requires highly skilled craftsmen in order to cut it without splitting the wood.
