Tripod Lamps

More about Tripod Lamps

The best part of these lamps is that they have an outsized presence in a space—way more than a traditional lamp—yet without actually taking up that much more room. Their three spindly legs give them an almost living or organic quality, so they never seem overly imposing. What does that mean for you? Well, you can pick out one with the confidence that it will give a boost to whatever room you place it in without dominating it, a perfect statement piece if we do say so.

With their long elegant lines, we love to place these next to the smooth natural forms of Scandinavian-style chairs and sofas. Trying pairing textures and tones: a long white lamp with a soft cream shade will look phenomenal next to a minimalist armchair with a canvas covering. If you have a curvaceous leather couch, try a lamp in a deeper shade: rich walnut or even ash stained charcoal black. For especially dim rooms try placing the lamp close to a large hanging or floor mirror. This will help reflect its light and bring more warmth to the room than a roaring fireplace.

How about a few decorations to go with these svelte torches? They’ll look great next to other elongated forms, like tall, willowy glass vases or arrangements of dried grasses and flowers. If you want to get really creative, pick up an indoor vine that can crawl up the tripod lamp like a trellis for a fantastic blend of natural and manufactured.
