FAQ
What bulb does this lamp use and is it included?

It comes with a round LED strip bulb, 24W at 2700K, rated for 220-240V, so it's included with the lamp.

Is the light dimmable?

Yes, it has an on-lamp switch with a dimmer function.

What plug type does it come with and will it work in my country?

It ships with a Type C/E (EU) plug and the maker states it is not adapted for other regions, so check compatibility before ordering.

How long is the cord and can it be customized?

The cord is 200 cm long, and custom cord length is available for this piece.

Can I customize the lamp's finish or size?

No, customization is not available for this piece beyond the cord length option.

How long does it take to receive this lamp?

This piece is made to order; the maker can confirm current lead times — use Chat with the maker on this page.

Is this a limited edition piece?

Yes, it's part of a limited edition of 20 pieces.

Can I return this lamp if I change my mind?

Made-to-order pieces like this one are excluded from the standard 14-day return policy.

What is a floor lamp?

A floor lamp is a freestanding light that rests on the floor, tall enough to light a room or a seating area from above surface level. Unlike a table lamp it needs no furniture to stand on, and unlike a ceiling fixture it needs no installation — which makes it the easiest way to add a permanent light source to a room you cannot rewire.

How tall should a floor lamp be?

Between 150 and 180 cm for most positions. The number matters less than the shade height: seated beside the lamp, the bottom edge of the shade should fall at or just below your eye level, roughly 100–130 cm from the floor, so the bulb stays hidden. Uplights and torchieres can be taller because they throw light upward, away from your eyeline.

Where should a floor lamp go in a living room?

Three positions do most of the work: in a corner, where an uplight lifts the darkest part of the room; beside or slightly behind a chair, for reading; and behind or over the sofa, where an arc lamp substitutes for a ceiling fixture. Avoid placing one directly in a walkway or where its cable crosses a route people take.

What is an arc floor lamp for?

An arc or arched lamp has a long curved arm that extends the light source away from the base, so it can hang over a sofa, a coffee table or a chair without anything mounted overhead. It is the standard solution in rented flats and rooms with no central fixture. Check two things before buying: how far the arm reaches, and how heavy the counterweighted base is.

What is a torchiere, and when should I use one?

A torchiere directs light upward into the ceiling rather than down into the room. The ceiling reflects it back as soft, even, glare-free light, which makes a low or dark room feel considerably larger. It works best against pale matte ceilings; dark or heavily textured surfaces absorb much of the effect.

Which floor lamp is best for reading?

ne with directed light and an adjustable or downward-facing shade — a swing-arm or tripod lamp rather than an uplight. Aim for 400–800 lumens landing on the page, position the lamp slightly behind and to the side of your shoulder, and choose a shade deep or opaque enough that you never see the bulb from your reading position.

Do you have floor lamps with an integrated table or shelf?

Yes — there is a dedicated selection of lamp-and-table pieces, and it is one of the more interesting corners of the catalogue. These are not the shelf-tower lamps sold by furniture chains but single designed objects in which the light and the surface are one thing: illuminated side and coffee tables, lamps whose base doubles as a tabletop, and sculptural pieces that read as furniture with a light source built into them. They are made in ash and plywood, steel, brass, stoneware, marble and natural fiber, and several are held in stock rather than made to order. They earn their place beside a sofa or an armchair where there is only floor space for one object instead of two.

Are the shades replaceable, and can I change them?

It depends entirely on the piece. Where a lamp uses a conventional frame and a standard fitting, a shade can usually be swapped. Many pieces here, though, are designed as a single form — a blown glass diffuser, a paper shade sized to its frame, a ceramic body — where the shade is the lamp and is not intended to be changed. Product pages describe the construction; ask us if you need certainty.

How stable are they, and are they safe with children or pets?

Stability comes from base weight and footprint, both listed on product pages. Tall slim lamps and long arc arms need a substantial counterweight, and a heavy handmade lamp is not a piece you want knocked over. In a home with small children or large dogs, favor a low center of gravity, a wide base, and a position out of traffic routes — and route the cable along a wall rather than across a floor.

Which materials work best for a floor lamp?

Brass, steel and aluminum for slim arms and arcs that need structural strength; solid wood for tripods and columns with visible joinery; ceramic, stone and concrete for weight and a low center of gravity; woven rattan and natural fiber for texture and broad, dappled light; handmade and rice paper for the soft, screen-like glow associated with Japanese lighting. All of them show wear as patina rather than damage.

Description

The Citadel is a floor lamp by Ultramar Studio. The Citadel Collection comprises four sculptural luminaires — a table lamp, a short floor lamp, and two illuminated sculptures — inspired by East Asian palatial architecture and celestial mythology, forming a constellation of sacred towers, fortified citadels and celestial bastions, invoking the legendary Heavenly Palace depicted in the Chinese folklore of Journey to the West.

Citadel draws upon the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology, specifically the celestial realm known as the Heavenly Palace (天宫) — a divine citadel presided over by the Jade Emperor, ruler of the heavens. According to legend, this palace spans thirty-three levels and houses myriad deities, forming an ethereal cosmos of order, power and hierarchy. The series reimagines this mythic landscape through seven illuminated objects, each envisioned as a sacred bastion suspended in the sky.

Anchored close to the ground, the Citadel Short Floor Light Sculpture casts a steady wash of light upward, echoing the grounded solidity of architectural plinths. A study in weight and elevation, it invites stillness into a room.

Pieces are 3D printed and finished by hand. Subtle variations and slight surface imperfections may occur as part of the fabrication process, a reflection of the work’s digital-craft character.

About Ultramar Studio Visit Showroom →

Ultramar Studio is a rising Madrid-based furniture design practice founded by Ewan Lamm, previously based in London. Hong Kong–British designer Ewan Lamm embraces the amalgamation of Eastern and Western cultures, drawing inspiration from both realms for his unique design pieces. Lamm discovered his passion for storytelling and exploring spirituality through furniture design, believing that delving into the tales and lore of diverse cultures allows one to grasp the vastness of our world and foster harmony among its people, paving the way toward global citizenship.Through Ultramar, Ewan Lamm aspires to bridge cultural gaps, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world’s diverse heritage. His designs serve as conduits, weaving together tales and histories, enabling individuals to connect on a profound level. Lamm’s dedication to sharing the beauty and significance of cultural exchange is at the core of Ultramar’s ethos, propelling us toward a more interconnected and harmonious global community.“My passion lies in bridging cultures through the stories and histories woven into my objects,” he says. “By sharing these diverse narratives, I hope to cultivate a deeper appreciation for our shared human experience.” This vision is reflected in his studio’s name, Ultramar, derived from the Latin words ultra (“beyond”) and mare (“sea”). Through his work, he invites audiences on a journey across narratives and folklore from the world beyond the sea. This rich tapestry of Eastern and Western influences continues to inspire his practice and fuels his desire to connect people through the power of storytelling.
