Cygnus Wood & Silk Floor Lamp

Wood and silk. Long arm. Quiet glow.

The Cygnus is a long-arm floor lamp built from natural materials — a slim solid-wood post and reach arm, with a hand-stretched silk shade at the arm's tip. The arm extends outward at a calibrated angle, reaching over a chair, sofa, or reading corner without the floor footprint a standard floor lamp requires. Where most Mid-Century floor lamps lean modernist-industrial (metal, matte black, graphic geometry), the Cygnus leans Japandi — wood warmth, silk softness, the natural-material vocabulary of Scandinavian and Japanese design traditions.

Available in natural wood or walnut finish — both shades work across modern, transitional, and Japandi interiors. 78-inch power cord with inline switch; plug-in installation in your choice of US, UK, EU, or AU plug type. The silk shade diffuses bulb light into a warm, even glow — closer to candlelight than electric light.

Cygnus and Vega — which Stellar floor lamp for which room

We make two Stellar Collection floor lamps, in deliberately different material vocabularies:

Choose the Vega for modernist, industrial, Mid-Century, and graphic-black interiors. Tripod base, matte black metal, aluminum reflector — graphic and architectural.

Choose the Cygnus (this fixture) for Japandi, Scandinavian, transitional, and natural-material interiors. Solid-wood frame, silk shade — warm and quiet rather than graphic.

Part of the Stellar Collection

The Cygnus expands our Stellar Collection — bringing the natural-material option to our growing family of architectural lighting:

Vega — Mid-Century tripod floor lamp.

Lyra — articulated table lamp.

Atria — Long-arm wall sconce, plug-in.

Pavo — Mid-Century wall sconce, full configuration set.

Cassio — multi-arm Mid-Century chandelier.

Cygnus (this fixture) — wood and silk floor lamp, the natural-material counterpart to Vega.

Where the Cygnus stands best

Reading corner with armchair — long arm reaches over the chair seat for shoulder-height ambient light; the silk shade keeps the light glare-free.

Behind a sofa — arm extends over the sofa back to light the seating area; replaces a floor lamp without crowding the seating zone.

Japandi or Scandinavian living room — wood and silk are the signature materials of these styles; the Cygnus integrates rather than contrasts.

Master bedroom corner — soft silk glow handles evening ambient light without demanding the reading-task brightness a desk lamp would.

Home office or studio in a natural-materials palette — wood frame matches solid-wood desks and shelves; silk shade keeps the workspace warm rather than clinical.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the warmest silk-glow effect, use 2700K LED or filament bulbs. Cooler bulbs flatten the silk's natural amber undertone.

Place on a stable, level surface; the wood base is weighted for the arm extension but works best on hardwood floors, low-pile carpet, or stable surfaces.
