1950s-Inspired Lighting

The Woodrum Floor Lamp by Roman & William is Full of Warmth

— January 10, 2014 — Art & Design
The Woodrum Floor Lamp channels mid-century design in a sleek and modern way. Although that may seem contradictory at first, it simply shows how it embraces the past without compromising its contemporary sensibilities. Of course, the Woodrum Floor Lamp is unlike anything on the market right now. Instead of adhering to cold metals and slim silhouettes, it is full of heft and warmth.

Designed by Roman & William, a studio based in New York, the Woodrum Floor Lamp was specifically inspired by 1950s American restaurant lighting concepts. It takes on a cylindrical shape that stretches down into a three-pronged base. Available in either teak or walnut and priced at $2,450, it is part of the MatterMade collection.
