Gravity, Fontanaarte Curved like a tree bending in the wind, this dimmable floor lamp features an opal-white, polymethacrylate (thermoplastic) diffuser and a white metal frame. Standing 87 inches tall and with a 74-inch reach, Gravity is counterbalanced by a low-profile, 18-inch-diameter base. A bright-red power cable with a black plug and a dimmer accommodate the luminaire, which uses one 100W halogen lamp or one 23W fluorescent lamp. fontanaarte.com
