Tom Rossau TR10 Hourglass Floor Lamp, Natural Birch, 2 Sizes

Tom Rossau’s hourglass in birch, standing on the floor: a 41- or 54-inch sculpture that glows from within.

The TR10 floor lamp gives Tom Rossau’s hourglass silhouette its own place on the floor. Hand-assembled birch strips swell and pinch around two bulbs, so the lamp glows softly through the wood while a little direct light escapes at the top and base. At 41.3" or 54.3" tall it is a true centerpiece beside a sofa or in the corner of a living room.

About the designer

Tom Rossau grew up in Odsherred, the curving coastal landscape north-west of Copenhagen that has drawn painters for generations, and his first lamps appeared in 2005. Every Tom Rossau lamp is still built by hand in the company’s own workshop on Frederiksberg Allé in Copenhagen, by a single lamp builder who signs the card that comes with it.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the TR10 floor lamp brings real sculpture into a room, and it is one of the most admired pieces in Tom Rossau’s collection.

Buy once: durability and care

Dust the birch strips with a soft, dry brush; keep the lamp away from water, steam and humid rooms, because moisture softens the veneer and can make stained colors bleed. Like all natural wood, the birch slowly develops a patina and may shift its shape very slightly over the years: Tom Rossau calls it a living material. Tom Rossau covers manufacturing defects for 2 years. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.
