Originally … Read more A highly decorative industrial floor lamp created from an authentic English surveyor's tripod dating from the early 20th century. Originally manufactured for surveying work, the hardwood tripod has been carefully preserved, retaining its original cast metal fittings, pointed steel feet and beautifully aged timber, before being sympathetically converted into a distinctive statement floor lamp.
The tripod is paired with a sculptural pleated fabric shade whose organic form beautifully contrasts with the utilitarian construction below. When illuminated, the shade emits a warm, ambient glow that highlights the rich tones of the timber and aged metal, creating an inviting atmosphere.
with its combination of industrial heritage and contemporary styling, this unique lighting piece works equally well in loft apartments, modern country homes, Scandinavian interiors and curated design spaces. As every surveyor's tripod differs slightly through its original working life, this is a genuine one-of-a-kind piece.
Professionally rewired and ready for immediate use.
