Contemporary Brass and Leather Floor Lamp with Pleated Shade, De-light f2
Located in Paris, FR
The De.Light F2 designed by Jonathan Amar is a sculptural floor lamp that merges French design sensibility with artisanal Moroccan craftsmanship. Built on a directional pear-shaped base in brass, the slender arm rises on a subtle diagonal, offering both balance and fluidity. Entirely handcrafted, the arm is adorned with a hand-braided leather detail at the top—an homage to the studio’s signature blend of tactile materials and precise construction. The shade, available in pleated fabric or hand-woven wicker, is elegantly mounted on a directional stem, allowing the light to be easily adjusted for ambiance or reading. Multidirectional and minimalist in silhouette, the De.Light F2 embodies movement and refinement. Each element—from the saddle-stitched leather to the precision-turned brass—is crafted between the studio’s ateliers in Paris, Rabat, and Leiria, culminating in a lamp that is both decorative and functional.

Tito Agnoli Model #387 Agnoli Floor Lamp in Nickel and Travertine for Oluce
Located in Glendale, CA
Tito Agnoli model #387 'Agnoli' floor lamp in nickel and travertine for Oluce. Designed in 1954, this ultra-refined lamp is now considered to be a key forerunner of minimalism. Executed in nickel-plated metal and travertine base. This newly produced authorized re-edition features a detachable Cornalux glass element covering a G9 bulb capable of directing beautifully diffused light in a highly precise manner. The bulb can be rotated and adjusted up or down Model 387 has always been referred to as the 'Agnoli,' named after its designer Tito Agnoli. It is one of the most historic lamps in the Oluce catalog. As a precursor of minimalism, the Agnoli lamp used the “Cornalux” light bulb, capable of directing light in an extremely precise manner, by mounting it on top of a sliding mechanism positioned on a stem. The sophisticated travertine base represents the component that adds a touch of elegance to an object in which simplicity and functionality become elements of pure poetry. Price is per item.

Antique, New and Vintage Floor Lamps

The modern floor lamp is an evolution of torchères — tall floor candelabras that originated in France as a revolutionary development in lighting homes toward the end of the 17th century. Owing to the advent of electricity and the introduction of new materials as a part of lighting design, floor lamps have taken on new forms and configurations over the years. 

In the early 1920s, Art Deco lighting artisans worked with dark woods and modern metals, introducing unique designs that still inspire the look of modern floor lamps developed by contemporary firms such as Luxxu

Popular mid-century floor lamps include everything from the enchanting fixtures by the Italian lighting artisans at Stilnovo to the distinctly functional Grasshopper floor lamp created by Scandinavian design pioneer Greta Magnusson-Grossman to the Paracarro floor lamp by the Venetian master glass workers at Mazzega. Among the more celebrated names in mid-century lighting design are Milanese innovators Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, who, along with their eldest brother, Livio, worked for their own firm as architects and designers. While Livio departed the practice in 1952, Achille and Pier Giacomo would go on to design the Arco floor lamp, the Toio floor lamp and more for legendary lighting brands such as FLOS

Today’s upscale interiors frequently integrate the otherworldly custom lighting solutions created by a wealth of contemporary firms and designers such as Spain’s Masquespacio, whose Wink floor lamps integrate gold as well as fabric fringes. 

Visual artists and industrial designers have a penchant for floor lamps, possibly because they’re so often a clever marriage of design and the functions of lighting. A good floor lamp can change the mood of any room while adding a touch of elegance to your entire space. Find yours now on 1stDibs.
