An arc floor lamp with a telescopic arm and an oversized linen shade, built to reach out over a sofa and light it from above. Some floor lamps stand beside the furniture. MOBY reaches over it. The arm extends out from a weighted metal tripod base, carrying the shade up and over a sofa, a bed or a reading chair. That gives you overhead light exactly where you sit, with no ceiling box, no wiring, and nothing hanging in the middle of the room. The arm is telescopic rather than a fixed curve. You slide it out to the reach and height you want and it holds there. The classic Italian arc lamps of the 1960s solved this with a marble block and a curve you couldn't change, so the room had to be arranged around the lamp. MOBY does the same job with a sliding arm and a weighted base, which means you set the lamp to your room instead. The shade is 23.62 inches across in natural beige linen. At that size it covers a whole seating area rather than a single chair, and the linen diffuses the light so what lands below is soft rather than a spotlight. The weave is visible up close, and it warms the light on its way through. Fully extended it stands 96.46 inches, just over eight feet, and reaches 74.80 inches horizontally. That makes it a piece of furniture as much as a lamp, and it wants a room that can hold it. The base is deliberately heavy, because weight is what keeps a reach like this steady. The clean lines and natural materials let MOBY sit comfortably in modern, Scandinavian and loft interiors, alongside linen, leather, wood and stone.

Overhead light without a ceiling fixture. The arm reaches out from a base on the floor and carries the shade up and over a sofa, a bed or a reading chair, so the light comes down on you from above instead of sideways from a side table. People use them in rentals where they can't wire a pendant, in rooms with no ceiling box in the right place, and over sectionals that sit too far from a wall for a normal lamp to be useful. How does the arm adjust? It's telescopic, so it slides in and out rather than being a fixed curve. You extend it to the reach and height you want and it holds there. That means you set the lamp to your room rather than having to place the furniture around a shape that doesn't move. Fully extended it reaches 74.80 inches out and 96.46 inches up. How much room does it need? More than people expect, so measure first. At full extension the shade sits about six feet away from the base, which means the base stands behind or beside the sofa while the light lands over the middle of it. You also need ceiling height: fully up it's 96.46 inches, just over eight feet, so on a standard 8-foot ceiling you'll be running it shorter than maximum. Retracted it takes far less room, but the reach is the point of the lamp. Will it tip over with the arm extended? No, and the weight is why. The base is metal and the whole lamp is 15.4 kg, which is heavy for a floor lamp and deliberately so, because that's what holds a reach like this steady. It's a substantial object to move around, so decide where it lives before you assemble it. As with any floor lamp, keep the base out of a walkway. What are the exact dimensions? 96.46 inches (2450 mm) at full height, reaching 74.80 inches (1900 mm) horizontally, with a shade 23.62 inches (600 mm) across. Both the height and the reach adjust down from there. It weighs 15.4 kg. What is the shade made from? Natural linen in a soft beige, on a black metal frame. At 23.62 inches across it's a large shade, which is what lets it cover a whole seating area rather than one chair. The linen diffuses the light so what lands below is soft rather than a spotlight, and the weave is visible up close. Made in Poland by TK Lighting. Does it come assembled? It ships flat and you put it together. The base goes together first, then the arm, then the shade and a bulb. Instructions are in the box. It's 15.4 kg, so assemble it where it's going to stand rather than building it and then carrying it across the room. No wiring involved, it plugs into a standard outlet. What bulb does it take, and is it included? One E26 bulb, not included, so you can pick your own brightness and colour temperature. Max 15W LED, and that's the LED rating, not the light output. A 15W LED puts out roughly the same light as a 100W incandescent, which is right for lighting a full seating area from above. For warm evening light look for 2700K. Is it dimmable? Yes, with a dimmable smart bulb or a plug-in dimmer. There's no integrated LED or built-in dimmer, which means you're not locked into one system and can swap bulbs whenever you want. How do I clean the linen shade? A dry microfibre cloth handles dust, or the brush attachment on a vacuum set low. Natural linen marks easily, so keep water off it. For a mark, dab with a barely damp cloth and let it air dry rather than scrubbing. No cleaning sprays. Can it go on a covered porch or in a bathroom? No, it's rated for dry locations only. Linen and damp don't mix, so keep it indoors and away from bathrooms with a shower or tub. Is it approved for Canadian electrical code? Yes. cUL listed for both Canada and the US. Made in Poland by TK Lighting, a European manufacturer, not a rebranded import. How fast does it ship? Ships from our Mississauga warehouse. 1 to 3 business days to Eastern Canada, 4 to 6 to Western Canada. Free shipping over $149. What is the warranty? 2 years from date of purchase. What if it doesn't work in the space? 30-day returns on unused lamps. If the size or reach isn't what you expected, send it back within 30 days of delivery in its original packaging, unused and unmodified.
