A large globe of mouth-blown milk-white glass, 19.6 in (50 cm) across, sits on a slender matt white stem and round base, and its etched surface of tiny grooves turns the light into a warm, enveloping halo. It is dimmable, so the same lamp moves easily from evening reading to a low, calm background light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bianca floor lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e F430930150BIN1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug-in floor lamp with glass globe diffuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e living rooms, beside sofas and reading chairs, bedrooms, entrance halls, hotel lounges and suites, reception areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69.8 in (177 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass diffuser diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.6 in (50 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26 bulb, 116W maximum, 110V (bulb not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight\/dimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused, dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e mouth-blown milk-white glass with a satin, etched finish; matt white painted metal stem and base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish available:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ETL (Intertek) pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matti Klenell (2015)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern, Scandinavian, Contemporary, Minimalist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/etl-intertek-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"ETL Intertek pending certification mark: ETL listing for the US and Canadian markets is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e ETL (Intertek) listing for this lamp is in progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBianca's glass is blown into a mould without any mechanical aid, then belt sanded and dipped in acid to give the silky surface that fine glassware is known for. The etched pattern of shallow dimples breaks the light up further, so the globe glows evenly with no hot spot and sends light out in every direction: up to the ceiling, across the room and down onto a side table. With an E26 bulb up to 116W it can light a corner of a living room on its own, and when dimmed it becomes a gentle background glow for the evening. For a warm, cosy feel choose a 2700 K bulb; for a slightly fresher light, 3000 K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBianca stands 69.8 in (177 cm) tall, with the globe at the top, 19.6 in (50 cm) across.
