Tom Raffield Stem Floor Lamp

Designed by Tom Raffield, the Stem Floor Light is expertly handcrafted from his studio in Cornwall. The bowed head of the frame is achieved by steam-bending oak, a process that Tom Raffield is renowned for. Steam-bending is a low-wastage, low-energy method of bending an otherwise solid timber that works in conjunction with Raffield’s eco-friendly ethos. A textile cord runs from the plug to the base, and along the outside of the wooden frame to the brass fitting that houses the bulb, a sleek design choice that leaves the Stem’s profile uncluttered and free from any unnecessary details.

The Stem Floor Light is fitted with an oak shade that directs light downward, perfect for task lighting in an office or a reading light next to a sofa. When illuminated, light permeates through the shade, creating a golden glow that fills the room with ambient lighting. Oak is a popular choice for furniture and lighting designs due to its durable properties and versatility, its warm tones fitting into a range of decoration schemes. The Stem Floor Light is a perfect balance between form and function, its natural elegance offering understated design at its best.
