The Serax No.15 Standing Lamp in Black Sofisticato is one of the more functional pieces in the collection, though it still keeps that stripped-back, industrial feel the range is known for. As a standing lamp, it’s designed with purpose, closer to a reading light or a focused spotlight than something purely ambient.

The round base, stem and light tube are all made by hand in the collection’s distinctive blue steel. The structure is direct and uncomplicated, with a height of 1.40 metres that gives it enough presence without feeling imposing. The light source sits deeper within the tube, which keeps the beam controlled and avoids glare.

It works well next to a chair or beside a piece you want to draw attention to, something you dip in and out of rather than leave on all evening. There’s a practicality to it that’s easy to appreciate.
