Overview

The LUANG S lamp by FARO is a table lamp designed for those looking for more than just lighting. It works well on a bedside table, on a desk, or as a light source in a living room with its own style. Its papyrus shade lets light through in a soft and even way, without creating harsh shadows or cold spots.

What makes it different is its origin: the Luang collection was born from the study of Southeast Asian craftsmanship, where natural materials are transformed into volumetric forms with a strong visual presence. The shade has no internal structure. It is made entirely of camel-toned papyrus, giving it that organic, almost living appearance that contrasts with the black steel base. The result is a table lamp that does not look mass-produced.

FARO is a brand with decades of experience in interior lighting. Its Faro Lab line brings together locally designed pieces with carefully selected materials.

Installation and specifications

No tools or fixings are needed to place this lamp. As a table lamp, it simply needs to be placed on a stable surface and plugged into the mains. It is recommended to use an E27 LED bulb of up to 15 W, which is not included. Before installing the bulb, make sure the lamp is unplugged.

The papyrus shade should not be cleaned with damp cloths or chemical products. For dust, a soft feather duster or dry cloth is sufficient. The black steel base can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid placing the lamp in areas with high humidity or near direct heat sources.

Design and use

The LUANG S is a table lamp that catches the eye without the need for ornamentation. Its camel-coloured papyrus shade has a texture that changes with the light: when switched off, it looks like a handcrafted object with warm tones and an irregular surface. When switched on, the shade lights up in its entirety, casting a golden, enveloping light that transforms the atmosphere of any corner.

This golden light is especially pleasant on a bedside table. It effortlessly replaces a more conventional lamp and brings a warmth that invites rest. It also works well on a desk, where soft lighting reduces eye strain without losing functionality. In a living room, placed on a console or side table, it acts as a focal point that does not compete with the rest of the décor.

The lamp's structure is made of black steel, slim and understated. It serves as a counterpoint to the shade: while the papyrus has volume, movement, and natural texture, the base offers stability and visual clarity. This combination of the structured and the organic is one of the most recognisable features of the Luang collection.

Papyrus is a material that does not behave like fabric or plastic. It has its own lightness and a particular way of distributing light, more diffuse and less uniform than other materials. This gives the lamp a character reminiscent of handmade objects, even though its manufacture follows a rigorous design process. The shade has no internal frame, which allows the papyrus to maintain its natural shape and lets the light pass through it completely.

In terms of compatibility with other styles, the LUANG S adapts well to interiors where natural materials such as wood, linen, or wicker coexist. It also fits in more contemporary spaces where an element is sought that adds texture without breaking the overall coherence. It is not a dining room lamp in the traditional sense, but placed on a side table in that same room it can work very well as ambient lighting.

For a small dining or living room side table, its size is appropriate: at 295 mm tall and 280 mm wide, it makes its presence felt without being excessive. It does not take up too much space, and its weight of 1.67 kg ensures stability on any flat surface.

The E27 LED bulb compatible with this luminaire allows for efficient consumption without sacrificing light quality. The universal voltage of 100V to 240V means the lamp can be used in different countries without additional adapters.

Questions and answers

Does the LUANG S papyrus shade have an internal frame to give it shape?

No. The shade is constructed solely from papyrus, with no internal structure. This allows it to light up completely when the lamp is switched on and to maintain its natural organic shape.

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

It uses an E27 LED bulb of up to 15 W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. The lamp is compatible with voltages between 100V and 240V.

Is it possible to use the LUANG S on a bedside table without the shade being too large?

Yes. At 295 mm tall and 280 mm wide, its dimensions are proportionate for a standard bedside table. It does not take up more space than necessary, and its balanced design does not overwhelm the surface.
