opening page: Tom Scheerer uses a floor lamp in a cozy nook.

he floor lamp is the unsung hero of the lighting world. Though the accessory is often

overlooked, it synthesizes form and function like few pieces do, providing unobtrusive task lighting in tight spaces where a table might not fit, or casting a soft glow as a focal point, its shapely profile enlivening any room. Do you need something slim and sleek? Strong and sculptural? Utilizing rich materials ranging from nickel to ceramic to leather, the selection we’ve gathered here is sure to fit the bill, no matter what direction you choose.
