Rina Silk Pear Floor Lamp

For the Rina's intended role, yes — deliberately so. Standard floor lamps run 55-65 inches tall because they're designed for standalone corner installation, meant to light rooms from above eye-level. The Rina is designed for the opposite deployment: beside seating, at seated eye-level, functioning as an alternative to a nightstand or side-table lamp. If you're looking for a tall corner floor lamp, our Perla Bubble Floor Lamp (52.5-61.5") is the correct fixture. If you want a floor lamp that behaves like a table lamp without needing the table, the Rina is exactly that.

Select the plug type matching your country's wall outlets: US Plug (two flat parallel blades) for United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and most of Latin America. UK Plug (three square pins) for United Kingdom, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore. AU Plug (two angled flat pins) for Australia, New Zealand. EU Plug (two round pins) for continental Europe. The internal electronics accept AC 110-240V globally, so travelling only requires a plug adapter, not a voltage converter.

Yes, with a small qualifier. The silk-wound shade produces warm-white ambient light, ideal for the moody atmospheric register that most reading benefits from. For extended reading of small text (mass-market paperbacks, small-font hardcovers), the 40W warm-white output is adequate but not brilliant; some readers prefer to pair the Rina's ambient warmth with a small dedicated task light for the page itself. For magazine reading, tablet reading, and typical evening novel reading, the Rina alone is sufficient.

Both are silk floor lamps; the deployments are entirely different. Perla Bubble Floor Lamp (52.5-61.5") is a tall corner floor lamp on a chrome tripod — mid-century modern in register, designed for standalone corner installation, holds vertical space in a room. Choose Perla for living-room corners, mid-century interiors, statement lighting. Rina (34") is a table-height floor lamp on a matte black tripod — Japandi/minimalist in register, designed for beside-seating deployment, does not hold vertical space. Choose Rina for bedside deployment, sofa-side corners, nursery use, and interiors where a tall corner lamp would feel over-scaled.

Yes — recommended for bedside and evening use. The included E26 LED bulb is non-dimmable warm-white. To enable dimming: replace with a dimmable E26 LED bulb (widely available, $8-15) and plug the lamp into an in-line plug-in dimmer, or into a dimmer-capable wall socket. At 30-50% brightness, the silk shade produces its most atmospheric register — the warm ambient glow deepens, the lamp reads as intentional evening lighting rather than daytime task lighting. For nursery and bedside deployments in particular, dimming is what unlocks the lamp's full character.

Approximately 15-20 minutes. The lamp arrives in a compact box; the three tripod legs attach to the central column with hand-tightened screws (no tools required, though a small wrench is included if you prefer). The silk shade slides onto the top and locks with a single fastener. Install the included bulb, plug the lamp in, use the inline switch — done. Instructions are illustrated for step-by-step reference.

Silk shades require gentle care. Dust with a soft dry brush (a clean makeup brush works well) or low-power vacuum-brush attachment held at 6-inch distance, every 2-3 months. Never use water, damp cloths, or cleaning sprays on silk — moisture damages the material and the wound-silk structure. The matte black tripod cleans with a dry microfibre cloth. Keep the lamp away from direct sunlight over years (which can yellow silk) and out of heavy-humidity or cooking-vapour environments.
