Pablo Cortina Tall Column Floor Lamp, 48, 60 or 72 in, Clear Shade, In-Line Dimmer

A tall, plug-in column of soft light for corners, entries and lobbies: pick the height that matches the room and dim it at the cord.

We curate Cortina for rooms that need height and a gentle glow without a ceiling fixture. A clear shade and a translucent fabric diffuser surround a pair of GU10 lamps, so the light reads as a luminous column rather than a bright point. Three heights, 48, 60 and 72 in, let you scale it to a sofa corner, a hallway end or a double-height lobby, and a cast iron base keeps the narrow form steady.

Best for / where to use it

• Living-room corners: the 60 or 72 in lamp fills a corner behind a sofa or chair
• Entries and hallways: a slim column that does not block circulation
• Hotel lobbies and lounges: repeat along a wall for ambient layering
• Bedrooms: the 48 in lamp beside a bed or dresser
• Offices and reception: soft light in a waiting area

Installation & planning

• Plug-in: no installation, but plan an outlet within 6 ft (183 cm) of the base.
• Allow about 10-11 in (25.5-28 cm) of floor width.
• Set the in-line rotary dimmer along the cord where you can reach it.
• Use the two GU10 lamps specified by Pablo for dimming performance.
• Keep clear of curtains and flammable materials; the diffuser is fabric.
• Dry indoor rooms only.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who needs direct reading light: the glow is diffused.
• Spaces with lots of foot traffic where a tall, narrow lamp could be knocked over.
• Damp locations, which are not rated.

Frequently asked questions

Which height should I choose?

Use 48 in beside low furniture, 60 in as a general corner lamp, and 72 in where ceilings are high or the lamp sits against a tall wall.

How do I dim it?

With the in-line rotary dimmer on the cord. Full-range dimming is listed.

How stable is it?

It stands on a cast iron base. Pablo does not publish the weight, so ask us if a project needs it.

Can I wipe the diffuser clean?

Unplug the lamp and vacuum the fabric diffuser gently or dust it with a soft cloth. Avoid wet cleaning on the polyester.
