Overview

VENICE is a floor lamp designed by Adolfo Abejón for FARO. It fits well in different interior spaces: a living room with a sofa, a bedroom with a reading chair, or even a wide hallway where a warmer, closer light source is desired.

What sets this lamp apart is its rotating arm. It allows you to bring the light closer or farther away depending on what you need at any given moment: reading, creating ambiance, illuminating a specific area. There is no need to move the entire lamp, just adjust the arm.

The shade is made of white ceramic, handmade in a workshop in Barcelona. That detail shows in the result: a piece that does not look mass-produced. FARO is a brand with a track record in interior lighting, and VENICE reflects their approach well: clean design, carefully chosen materials, real functionality.

Installation and specifications

The floor lamp rests directly on the floor. It does not require anchoring or special tools. Before placing it, check that the floor is level so the base remains stable. The E27 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. The accepted voltage range is wide, between 100 V and 240 V, so it works without an adapter in any European country.

To clean the steel body, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. The ceramic shade can also be cleaned dry. Do not use abrasive products or solvents on either surface. When changing the bulb, make sure to unplug the lamp completely first.

Design and use

VENICE is a medium-height floor lamp, with a steel body in a satin black finish and a handmade white ceramic shade. The contrast between the black body and the white shade is clean and works well in modern interiors, but also in spaces with a more neutral or classic style.

The rotating arm is the central element of this lamp. It allows you to direct the light where it is needed without moving the lamp from its spot. In a living room, that means being able to illuminate the sofa for reading and then turning the light toward the center of the room when there are more people around. In a bedroom, it serves to have light near the bed without disturbing the rest of the space.

The ceramic shade is made in a workshop in Barcelona. This means that each unit has small differences inherent to handmade work: it is not a defect, it is part of the process. The ceramic produces a diffuse and soft light when switched on, different from that produced by a spotlight or glass.

In a hallway, VENICE can work as a complementary light source, especially if the hallway is long and the ceiling lighting does not reach every corner. It does not take up much floor space and its vertical profile does not interrupt traffic flow.

For a dining room, it can be placed to one side as an ambient lamp, without replacing the main lighting. It provides a warm light source that considerably changes the perception of the space during dinner. In a kitchen with a living or breakfast area, it also makes sense as secondary lighting in the sofa or stool corner.

The satin black finish of the steel body pairs well with dark wood structures, straight-lined furniture, and matte surfaces. It also works alongside Nordic or minimalist elements, where the white ceramic fits in effortlessly. If the space has more warmth — light wood, earth tones — the white shade balances the overall look without standing out excessively.

VENICE is available in several shade finishes: white, black, pink, cobalt blue, and striped. This variety allows you to match the lamp to the tone of the bedroom, living room, or any other room without having to look for a different model. The body always maintains the same design; only the color of the ceramic shade changes.

The light source is E27 LED, with a maximum power of 15 W. The bulb is not included, so it must be chosen according to the level of illumination desired. A warm-light bulb usually works well with this type of floor lamp for living spaces.

Questions and answers

Does the rotating arm allow you to change the direction of the light without moving the entire lamp?

Yes. The arm of VENICE rotates to bring the light source closer or farther away depending on what you need at any given moment, without having to move the base from the floor.

Is the ceramic shade the same in all units or can there be variations?

Since it is handmade in a workshop in Barcelona, each shade may show small differences in shape or finish. These are inherent to the artisan process and are not considered a defect.

What type of bulb needs to be purchased for this floor lamp?

It requires an E27 LED base bulb with a maximum power of 15 W. It is not included with the product and must be purchased separately.
