Lampshade diameter: 58 cm Base diameter: 38 cm Height: 154 cm A brief history of the floor lamp As a descendant of the "torch-holding guéridons" from the 17th century, the floor lamp revolutionized lighting by bringing light out from the walls to make it mobile. Its height was historically calibrated to project the glow directly above a reader's shoulder, thus avoiding shadows long before the invention of electricity. By the end of the 18th century, the advent of air-flow oil lamps allowed it to shine autonomously and steadily, making it the central pivot of reading salons.
