MMXXV.II
Readers standard lamp with vellum shade
A STURDY floor-standing version of the Readers lamp, based on an early electric design for a student lamp. A telescopic base, sliding arm and adjustable lamp-holder. The shade is stitched with waxed cotton thread, and casts a cloudy luminosity that mimics calf’s skin, but will not yellow with time like natural vellum. The lamp is made from spun and turned raw brass, which is unpolished and unlacquered, desirable for its warm tone and oxidised patination. It has already started ageing naturally and gracefully. Simply wipe clean (do not use brass cleaner or polish) to maintain the ageing process.
Minimum height: 93cm, maximum height: 135cm
