The Scala Hand-Forged Floor Lamp from Visual Comfort Signature, formerly known as Visual Comfort, offers a stylish, open appeal to indoor living spaces. A flaring, airy design from the mind of Ian K. Fowler, its four-pronged steel structure rises from a cross-shaped base, narrowing slightly as it converges to place potent lamping beneath a small drum shade done in translucent linen. The shade reduces bright glare to a warm wash of ambient light to the sides, while direct downlight descends through the shade’s open base, casting slender shadowed accents around the fixture.
