B&Q 1970s-style Pandora opal glass globe floor lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pandora

There are some really stylish and affordable lights in B&Q right now, including this B&Q Pandora opal glass globe floor lamp.

One of a series of lights using the same design (you can see the table versions on the image above), it has a distinctive 1970s space age style about it and some substance for the money. By that, I mean a glass shade and a metal stem, rather than cheaper plastic.

The floor lamp stands around 165cm tall and sells for £51.48. Also instore is an equally cool Tom Dixon-like Harika Globe table lamp. You can check that out over at our Switched On Set site.

eBay watch: Verner Panton-style Moon floor lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Moon

We have featured the Verner Panton Moon light for the celing, as well as a pine variation of that design. But this isn't a Verner Panton design, this Moon floor lamp is just incredibly similar.

It's a stunning bit of design, presumably from the 70s and with a lampshade made of thin slats of pine reinforced by a central metal circular structure. The slats can be moved individually and are arranged in a concentric spiral. The stem and circular foot are made of pine.

It's described as being in 'very good' condition and in 'full working' order, with just a few age-related marks. A few bids on it, but still only £10, which is a bit of a bargain.

Frand

Yes, hot on the heels of the wall light varation comes the Frandsen Ball floor light.

Like the wall lights, the Ball floor light is a variation of the original 1969 Danish design, keeping that distinctive round shade, but finishing things off with a matching stem and base, plus transparent cord. The whole things stands around 150cm tall.

Choose from red, white or black, all selling for £207.

Marks and Spencer Anglepoise-style oversized floor lamp

Ms_giant

Some time ago, we featured the original Giant Anglepoise lamp back in 2007, selling for an equally hefty £1,660. we've also seen something similar from B&Q with the Tecton lamp, for a more affordable £79. Now there's something shiny from Marks and Spencer in a similar vein – the Oversized Task Floor Lamp.

It's actually got a more modernist feel, both in construction and with that nickel plated steel finish, with the lamp also offering up a round base, adustable stand and a height of around 166cm, which is just short of 6ft tall.

Check out more images on the M&S site, with the price at £125.

Alchemy1

If you want something with a classic look, inspired by the earlier part of the 20th century, check out these Alchemy floor and table lamps at Graham and Green.

With a look that wouldn't look out of place in a 'well to do' 1930s home, the lamps are traditional in shape, not to mention heavy, with the smallert version perfect for a table, desk or bedside, the larger for an imposing floor lamp.

Both are adjustable via wing nut fittings, with on/off switches located on the top of the respective light heads. The table/desk version is yours for £130, the floor for £189. See an image of the latter over the page.
