{"product_id":"fontanaarte-cheshire-floor-lamp-dome-shade-reading","title":"FontanaArte Cheshire Floor Lamp, Dome Shade Reading Lamp, 57 in","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Cheshire floor lamp is a 57 in (145 cm) reading lamp for the side of a sofa, an armchair, a bed or a hotel lounge seat. A rounded dome shade in painted polycarbonate caps a slender metal stem, and beneath it an opal diffuser softens the light from three bulbs as it falls downward onto your book, your lap or a side table. The silhouette is simple and friendly, with the Nordic restraint its designers are known for, and it comes in black or white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cheshire 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 F425225350NENU (Black), F425225350BINU (White)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug-in floor reading lamp with dome shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e beside sofas, armchairs and beds; living rooms, bedrooms, studies, hotel rooms and lounges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57 in (145 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.7 in (35 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x E26 bulbs, 23W maximum each, 110V (bulbs not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e downward light softened by an opal diffuser; on\/off switch, not dimmable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e transparent power cable with in-line switch and plug (the maker's specification lists a European two-pole plug)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP40, indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e painted metal frame; painted polycarbonate top shade; opal polycarbonate lower diffuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e GamFratesi (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scandinavian, Modern, Minimalist, Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/ul-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"UL pending certification mark: UL listing for the US market is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e UL certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheshire is built around reading. The opaque, painted dome stops light escaping upward or sideways into your eyes, so the light is directed down, and the opal polycarbonate diffuser underneath spreads it into a soft, even pool rather than a hard spot. Three E26 sockets (up to 23W each) give plenty of output for reading, knitting or working on a laptop from an armchair, and you can choose warm LED bulbs around 2700 K for a relaxing evening tone. Around the edge of the dome, a gentle glow escapes onto the shade itself, so the lamp reads as a soft, lit object from across the room. It switches on and off with a switch on the cord and is not dimmable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 57 in (145 cm) tall with a 13.7 in (35 cm) shade, Cheshire is scaled to a seated person.
