Ferm Living Arum Floor Lamp: A sculptural reading lamp in polished steel and polised marble

The Arum floor lamp by Ferm Living strikes a subtle balance between elegance and materiality. Its long, polished stainless steel stem rises from a solid gray marble cylindrical base before curving delicately to support an asymmetrical lampshade. At 136 cm tall and only 42 cm deep, this Adjustable reading floor lamp maintains a compact silhouette, making it easy to place next to an Armchair or at the end of a sofa. The contrast between the dense stone, the mirror-like metal, and the light, airy shape of the diffuser gives the lamp a highly graphic presence.

A sheet of metal suspended in space

Arum’s design draws direct inspiration from the plant world. Its lampshade evokes a large leaf or a petal suspended from the tip of a slender, curved stem. In this version, the polished mirror stainless steel further accentuates this sense of lightness by capturing the room’s reflections.

In contrast, the solid gray Galaxy marble base firmly anchors the floor lamp to the floor. Ferm Living thus builds the entire silhouette on a play of contrasts between weight and delicacy, organic lines and simple geometry, mineral surfaces and glossy metal. The mat off-white interior of the lampshade visually softens the overall look and complements the light’s diffusion.

Is the Arum floor lamp suitable for reading?

Yes. Arum works perfectly as a reading lamp, especially next to an armchair or sofa. Its Lampshade is adjustable, allowing you to direct the light toward the desired area and illuminate a book or the space around the seating more precisely. In fact, Fabrica explicitly recommends it for a reading nook.

Its relatively compact size also makes it easy to place right next to furniture, unlike large Arc floor lamps that require more space.

Can you adjust the direction of the light from the Arum floor lamp?

Yes. The lampshade is adjustable, allowing you to adapt the direction of the light depending on your needs. It can be directed toward an armchair for reading, toward the sofa to create a more intimate lighting area, or toward a part of the room you wish to highlight. This flexibility enhances the floor lamp’s functionality without compromising the elegance of its silhouette.

What type of bulb should I use with the Arum floor lamp?

The Arum floor lamp is designed for use with an E14 LED bulb rated at up to 12 W(not included). According to the product information, this maximum wattage is equivalent to approximately 75 W from an older incandescent bulb. The actual level of illumination, however, depends on the flux—measured in lumens—of the selected bulb.

For use as a reading lamp, it’s therefore a good idea to choose a bulb that provides sufficient Flux for reading while maintaining a pleasant color temperature in the living room.

Where should you place the Arum floor lamp in the living room?

With a height of 136 cm, a depth of 42 cm, and a base just 11 cm in diameter, the Arum fits easily next to a sofa, an Armchair, or in a reading nook. Its narrow base allows it to fit into spaces where a bulkier floor lamp would be difficult to install.

Its mirror polished steel also adds a unique decorative touch to a contemporary interior. The reflective surface interacts with the surrounding colors and light, while the grey marble adds a deeper, mineral-like accent.

Arum thus succeeds in lending a great deal of character to a typically understated design. Placed near an Armchair, its plant-like silhouette creates an elegant presence while directing light exactly where it’s needed.
