The angular arc of the stem of the Cloister 70" Arc Floor Lamp, the way the shade dangles, and the minimal shape of its base make it an exemplar of contemporary design. The clean way the stem is fastened to the base and the pared-down lines of the white linen shade enhance the black floor lamp’s modernity. The white acrylic diffuser fastened by the petite button finial is a design detail of note.
