Floor Lamps for the Corners That Need Them

Designer floor lamps in brass, travertine, marble and linen, from arcs and tripods to adjustable reading lights. A floor lamp puts light at the level you sit, beside a sofa arm or behind a chair, where a ceiling light rarely reaches. Choose the spot before the shape: a reading chair is better served by a head that turns, and an empty corner tends to want a wide shade.
