Resident Spar Floor Lamp

The Resident Spar Floor Lamp, designed by Jamie McLellan, is a large cantilevered floor light that references the mast arrangements of classic sailing boats. Its striking two-dimensional silhouette and long reach make it suitable for providing overhead illumination across seating or work surfaces without a central ceiling fixing.

The Spar relies on a slim, minimalist metal frame and a triangular support geometry: a long horizontal cantilever arm is steadied by a diagonal rod and a tensioned element, terminating in a low-profile circular weighted base. The shade is a truncated conical form and the lamp presents a stark, graphic silhouette with extremely thin lines and a matte black visual finish.

Constructed in spun aluminium and steel, the lamp uses thin rods to maintain a lightweight visual profile despite its large span. The design breaks down for easier shipping and handling, simplifying delivery and site access for projects.

The shade adjusts in four directions, allowing the light-source to be directed for ambient or task use. As a cantilevered floor light it is particularly useful for creating a focused pool of light over sofas, dining tables or reading chairs while keeping the floorplane clear.

The Spar includes a discrete power cord routed from the base and is supplied with a three-year manufacturer warranty. Its balanced engineering and considered form mean it sits confidently within contemporary interiors where a sculptural, functional light is required.
