Overview

STAND UP is a floor lamp designed by Estudi Ribaudí for FARO. Its white shade contrasts with the matte black aluminium structure, giving it a distinctive character without being flashy. The T-shaped base ensures stability on any flat surface, and the height adjustment allows it to be adapted to different lighting needs in the space.

This lamp fits well in a living room, a bedroom, or any corner where a direct light source is needed without installing anything on walls or ceilings. It is a practical solution for those looking for something specific: a modern lamp, easy to place and well finished.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its catalogue includes both design pieces and functional luminaires, always with attention to detail and materials.

Installation and specifications

No tools or anchoring are needed to place this floor lamp. It rests directly on the floor on a stable, level surface. Before connecting it, make sure to install a compatible E27 LED bulb with a maximum power of 15 W. The cable should remain slack and away from areas of foot traffic.

To clean the aluminium structure, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte black finish. The white shade is cleaned the same way: a soft cloth, without rubbing hard. Do not handle the bulb while the lamp is connected to the mains.

Design and use

The STAND UP lamp has a matte black aluminium structure that runs vertically along the entire body. The white shade, cleanly integrated into that structure, neither stands out excessively nor disappears: it simply forms part of the whole. The result is a piece with visual balance, where the light is emitted in a controlled way without the fixture drawing more attention than the space it illuminates.

The T-shaped base is one of the most noticeable elements when looking at it. It is not a conventional round base, but a solution that distributes the weight differently and adds personality to the silhouette of the stand. On a wood, cement or stoneware floor, the base sits firmly and the lamp does not shift with everyday use.

The height adjustment is useful when the space changes or when different positions are to be tried. A room with a high ceiling may call for a lamp extended to its maximum; a reading corner may work better with the light a little lower. This adjustment possibility allows the piece to adapt without complications.

In a living room, this floor lamp works as ambient light next to a sofa or an armchair. It does not replace the general overhead lighting, but it adds a warmer, closer layer of light that changes the feel of the space. In a dining room, it can be placed to one side to soften the direct lighting over the table. In a bedroom, the stand fits well beside the bed or in the reading area, where the height adjustment is especially practical.

It can also work in a long hallway that needs a specific light point without any building work, or in a home office where there is a desire to visually separate the rest area from the active area. In a large bathroom with a dressing area it could fit if the space allows, although its most common use is in daytime rooms or living areas.

The matte black aluminium finish blends well with interiors of a clean style: white, grey, neutral tones. It also holds up well alongside wooden elements, whether a floor, a shelf or an auxiliary piece of furniture. The combination of black and wood appears frequently in contemporary interiors, and this lamp fits into that context effortlessly. Against a plain wall, the slim, vertical structure reads as something clean and orderly.

The light it produces depends on the bulb installed. Since it uses an E27 socket and accepts LED, there is plenty of room to choose the lighting tone that best suits the space: from cool white to warm, and everything in between. This allows the atmosphere to be personalised without changing the lamp.

At 1750 mm in height, the stand reaches a standard measurement for this type of luminaire. It does not take up much floor space thanks to its compact base, making it viable in spaces without a surplus of square metres. It weighs just under two kilograms, so moving it from one room to another requires no effort.

Questions and answers

Is the T-shaped base stable enough to prevent the lamp from tipping over easily?

Yes. The T-shaped base distributes the weight in such a way that the lamp remains steady on smooth floors. It is not recommended to place it on sloped or uneven surfaces.

What type of bulb do I need to buy for this floor lamp?

You need a bulb with an E27 socket and a maximum power of 15 W. The lamp does not include a bulb, so you will need to purchase one separately. LED is recommended for better efficiency.

Can the matte black aluminium body deteriorate over time indoors?

Aluminium with a matte black finish is a durable material for indoor use. With periodic cleaning using a dry cloth, the finish remains in good condition for a long time.
