Overview

The LUANG XS lamp by FARO is a table lamp designed for those who want more than just a light source. It works well on a bedside table, on a desk, or as a light accent in the living room. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate without taking up too much space, and its papyrus shade creates a warm, organic atmosphere from the moment it is switched on.

What sets it apart is the combination of a black steel structure with very clean lines and a shade with no inner frame, made entirely from camel-colored papyrus. Because the shade has no rigid structure, it illuminates evenly across its entire surface, producing a soft, golden light that transforms the atmosphere of any corner.

FARO is a local manufacturing company with a long history in interior lighting design. The Luang collection was born from its FARO Lab research line, where the starting point was the study of handcrafted objects from Southeast Asia made with natural fibers and papyrus.

Installation and specifications

This lamp is placed directly on the surface without the need for tools or fixings. As a table lamp, it simply needs to be set in the chosen spot and plugged into the electrical outlet. It requires an E14 LED bulb of up to 8 W, which is not included and must be purchased separately. The voltage range of 100V to 240V makes it compatible with standard electrical networks without additional adapters.

For maintenance of the papyrus shade, it is recommended to clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth, without abrasive products or solvents. The black steel structure can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing the shade to direct humidity or environments with heavy condensation, as papyrus is a natural material that may be affected. Do not touch the bulb directly with your fingers when replacing it. Always disconnect the lamp before handling the bulb.

Design and use

The Luang collection by FARO starts from a specific observation: how craftspeople from Southeast Asia transform flat materials such as papyrus or natural fibers into objects with volume, structure, and a visual presence that is hard to ignore. That manual process, which combines precision and formal freedom, is what gives shape to the shade of this table lamp.

The shade has no internal structure. The papyrus, in camel color, holds its own shape and when lit allows light to pass through the entire material evenly. The result is a warm, golden light that produces no dark areas or harsh contrasts. That warm tone works especially well on a bedside table, where overly intense light would be uncomfortable.

The body is made from steel with a matte black finish. The lines are straight and very restrained, creating a clear visual contrast with the organic shade. That tension between the geometric and the free is part of the character of the lamp, and it is also what makes it easy to pair with different decorating styles. It fits well in a living room with Nordic lines, but also in a warmer setting with wood and natural textures.

On a writing desk or a console table, the lamp adds presence without overwhelming the space. Its dimensions — 207 mm in height and 203 mm in length — place it in a format that does not take up too much room but is still noticeable. The weight of 1.67 kg gives it stability on the surface, so it does not shift easily.

In the bedroom, placed on a bedside table, it produces the kind of light that eases the transition before sleep. It does not glare, does not scatter excessively, and the camel color of the shade adds a warm nuance to the atmosphere. In the dining room it can work as a supporting lamp alongside a main light, adding depth and texture to the space. It is also suitable on a desk where ambient light is preferred over direct task lighting.

The papyrus shade offers a visible texture even when the lamp is switched off. This quality means the object has a presence during the day, not only when it is on. In a modern décor where natural materials such as wicker or rattan are present, the lamp fits in effortlessly. It also pairs well with ceramic elements, whether in the same space or on the same surface.

For those looking for a table lamp that is neither entirely rustic nor entirely industrial, but something in between with its own character, the LUANG XS offers that position naturally. The choice of papyrus as the sole material for the shade gives it authenticity, and the black steel structure gives it rigor. The overall result is coherent and, at the same time, has a visual lightness that makes it comfortable in small spaces.

Questions and answers

Does the papyrus shade of the LUANG XS have any kind of frame or internal structure to support its shape?

No. The shade is made entirely from papyrus, with no internal structure. The material itself holds its shape, which allows it to illuminate evenly across the entire surface when switched on.

What type of bulb does this lamp require and is it included in the price?

It requires an E14 LED bulb of up to 8 W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

Does the camel color of the shade affect the tone of the light emitted by the lamp?

Yes. The camel-toned papyrus filters the light and gives it a warm, golden hue. This effect makes the resulting light soft and organic, suitable for rest environments or areas where a less cool tone is preferred.
