Inspired by Manhattan’s skyscrapers, French designer Hervé Langlais conjured up this unique floor lamp with an exposed flourish of brass at the top. The 3 tall vertical rods of the lamp column form a stepped arrangement above the lampshade and are anchored on a raised circular base that appears to float off the ground. An oversize drum lampshade in white, off-white or grey complements the solid-brass structure available in a variety of satin-metal finishes.
