This modern floor lamp is truly an eye-catching piece of modern lighting technology. Originally designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Santa & Cole Royal floor lamp's outstanding feature is its elliptical linen or cardboard shade that appears to float in mid-air. Rising out of a thin steel column and supported by a base that mimics the shape of the shade, the Royal modern floor lamp uses two independent bulbs to point its light both upward and downward. The Royal lamp is the essence of Jacobsen's theory that "economy and functionality equal style".
