Contrary to its name, the Contardi Lighting Up Floor Lamp produces ideal down light. Fashioned with elegant details, the interior shade is trimmed with a gold lining, warming the task-oriented light. The slender stem is immaculately wrapped with a braided silk cord and capped with metal insets. The tall fixture is poised at an angle, allowing subtle reach of the task light which is balanced by a rounded base. These classic elements transform a relatively simple silhouette in to a sophisticated fixture fit for a range of design schemes.
