Overview

The FARO INVITING lamp is a table luminaire designed to adapt to what you need at any given moment. It was created by the design studio Bohman&Folenius with a clear idea: light has to move with you, not stay fixed in one spot. That is why the head can be oriented on both the horizontal and vertical axes, allowing you to direct the beam exactly where it is needed, whether over a work table, a bedside table or a shelf.

This is a lamp designed for people who spend time reading, working or simply want to have control over the ambiance of a room. It works well as a desk lamp, in a living room, next to a headboard or in any corner where light needs to adapt to different tasks. It also includes a clip accessory that allows it to be attached to surfaces without needing a base, which expands its range of uses.

FARO is a company with extensive experience in home lighting. Its products combine functionality and aesthetic sensibility, and the INVITING family is an example of that approach to light in the home.

Installation and specifications

No special tools are needed to set up this lamp. Simply place it on a stable surface, such as a side table, desk or shelf, and plug it into the mains. If the included clip accessory is used, make sure the surface it is attached to has a suitable thickness and that the clip is properly tightened before switching it on. Do not place the cable in areas where it could be pulled taut or tangled.

The aluminium and steel body surface can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the gold finish. The PMMA diffuser should be cleaned with a soft cloth without pressing. Do not cover the lamp with fabrics or bring it into contact with flammable materials. Unplug it from the mains if you are not going to use it for an extended period.

Design and use

The INVITING lamp has a yellow colour that, under certain lighting conditions, is reminiscent of a warm golden tone. It is not a lamp that goes unnoticed, but neither does it seek excessive prominence. Its presence on a bedside table or work desk adds a touch of colour that can work well both in modern interiors and in spaces with a more personal character.

The body is made of aluminium and steel, materials that give the whole piece solidity without adding unnecessary weight. At 1.67 kg it is a stable lamp on its base but manageable if you need to move it. The height of 860 mm makes it visible and functional without taking up too much horizontal space, which is an advantage when the surface of a side table or desk already has other things on it.

One of the most practical aspects of this lamp is the ability to adjust the colour temperature. Turning the wheel allows you to move from a warm light of 2700 K to a cooler one of 4800 K. This means the same lamp can be used for reading at night with soft light or for working during the day with a more active light. There is no need for a different lamp for each use. The intensity is also adjustable by sliding the upper ring along the head, so the light level can be set without any external accessories.

The adjustable head is another real advantage in everyday use. On a bedside table, for example, the light can be directed towards a book without disturbing the person sleeping beside you. On a desk it allows you to focus on the work surface without light bouncing off the screen. On a shelf it can be aimed at objects you want to highlight. That range of adjustment, both horizontally and vertically, makes this lamp something more than a decorative element.

The transparent PMMA diffuser lets light through in a direct and clean way. There is no excessive diffusion, which reinforces the feeling of controlled focus when needed. The SMD LED light source is already included, with a power of 6 W and compatibility with voltages between 100 V and 240 V, so it works with any standard domestic socket without adapters.

As for use in different spaces, this lamp fits well in a bedroom as a reading light next to the headboard, on an occasional table in the living room, in a home workspace or even in smaller areas such as hallways with shelving or reading nooks. The clip accessory that comes included allows you to do without the base and attach it directly to a table, a shelf or the headboard itself, which considerably expands the options without needing to purchase anything additional.

The yellow colour gives it a character of its own that goes well with neutral surfaces, light or white wood, and also with interiors that combine natural tones. In a dining room with a wooden table, for example, it can work as auxiliary or decorative light on a sideboard. In a room with neutral tones the colour of the lamp acts as a visual accent without breaking up the overall scheme.

Questions and answers

Can this lamp be used without the table base, attached to a surface?

Yes. The lamp includes a clip accessory that allows you to do without the base and attach it directly to the edge of a table, a shelf or a headboard. It is the same lamp with two different ways of positioning it.

Can the colour temperature be changed once the lamp is installed?

Yes. The colour temperature is adjusted by turning the wheel integrated into the lamp itself, without the need for external accessories. The range goes from 2700 K, which gives a warm light, up to 4800 K, a cooler and more functional light. The intensity can also be adjusted independently.

Is the included LED replaceable or is it permanently integrated?

The SMD LED light source comes included with the lamp. For any queries about the type of mounting or the possibility of replacement in the event of a fault, you can contact us and we will resolve it on a personalised basis.
