Torchiere Lamps

Design Tips:

  • Torchiere lamps can be stars or background of design depending on the style and design of the floor lamp.
  • Do not use a bulb with higher wattage than recommended to avoid chance of fire or burns if the lamp is kept on for long periods.
  • Use torchiere lamps in rooms or spaces that do not have ceiling lights to give the illusion of overhead light.
The torchiere lamp style dates back several hundred years to France where the first torchieres were illuminated with candles. Today's torchiere lamps are inspired by the antique uplight designs of the first torchieres but with modern lampage and technology. The classic form of the torchiere features a flared shade that conceals the light above a tall lamp base that ends in either a round or square base. Torchiere lamps are excellent ways to add light to dark room or corner in a home, office, hotel or other professional space. These stylish floor lamps are just as versatile as they are handsome and unique.

Styles

Torchiere lamps are available in a range of styles from traditional to contemporary. Traditional style torchieres often have bronze or antiqued finishes, glass shades and ornate details to both the shade and lamp base. Contemporarys tyle torchieres tend to be more streamlined with a simpler shape and fewer details, keepimg the focus on the form of the torchiere. Metal and painted finishes are available with glass and metal shades.

Applications

Any room or space that needs to be brightened with lighting can benefit from a torchiere lamp. These uplight floor lamps wash walls and ceilings with light. The upswept light can brighten a living room, family room, den, basement, dorm room or studio apartment. Ideal for rooms that do not have a ceiling light, torchiere lamps can give the illusion of ceiling light. Most torchieres have a dimmer or three way switch to adjust the amount of light to create ambient or task lighting from a floor lamp.

Torchiere style floor lamps have a centuries long history. First illuminated with candles, these floor lamps were inspired by torches with a long stem and a wide or flared top that held the light. Torchieres first became popular in France, hence the French name, in the 17th century. These elegant floor lamps were first tall candelabra before the invention of electricity. Electricity freed the design up to evolve into the design most common today: a long, elegant stem below a shade that has an up facing opening, creating an uplight rather than focusing the light down like a typical floor lamp.
The Kichler Lighting Alex Contemporary torchiere lamp demonstrates that this ancient lamp form can be just as beautiful and elegant in contemporary style as it is as a traditional floor lamp. Contemporary style in a torchiere means a simple shade above a minimalist base. This keeps the focus on the overall form and shape of the floor lamp. Contemporaryfloor lamps, including torchiere lamps, can be used to illuminate the height of a room as well as wash a ceiling in uplight. Torchieres are a wonderful way to add additional light to a room that is softer than overhead light but broader in its reach than a table lamp or traditional style floor lamp that casts more of a downlight.

Q & A of the Day

  • I am not familiar with the term 'downlight'. Does the Lite Source BASIC Torchiere Lamp - LS-80910-PB illuminate toward the ceiling or not? Also, can you tell me what is the cage type fixture coming out of the top of the torchiere lamp?
    Pat Nov 14, 2010
    Lite Source 80910-PB is a torchiere so there is "no" downlight on this lamp. It will only illuminate towards the ceiling. The "cage" on the top is a heat guard; in case, if the torchiere tips over, the "cage" will prevent the hot halogen in contact with any object (such as a curtain), which might be a fire hazard.

Love this design

This is a very attractive dual purpose lamp. Need to carry parts for broken glass, if possible. We hit it with a swivel rocker and broke the glass already :-(
