Santa & Cole Americana Floor Lamp

A compact swing-arm floor lamp that lights a reading chair without taking over the room.

We place the Americana next to lounge chairs and sofa ends where reading light is needed but a big arc lamp would be too much. The small footprint suits apartments, hotel rooms and libraries, and the swing arm adapts to different seats. Its satin nickel and linen look fits Mid-Century, Transitional and Modern Classic interiors.
