Giant table lamps

Giant lamps to decorate the rooms

At first glance it recalls the fantastic adventures and allegories, created by Jonathan Swift in his Gulliver's Travels.


We are talking about the giant lamps: solutions, somehow like in Lilliput, inspired or copied in every way from the mini version of table lamps or desk, except for the size.

There are many companies that have enjoyed to create versions of the macro-standing lamps, to match the little mini sisters to furnish the living room, the bedroom and why not, the outdoor.

A sort of research of wonder, and the effects of contrast is extra large for details.

It is what happens with Tree of Light, the giant table lamp, a really good floor solution, to be joined to a dining table or sofa. Created by the team of Vormstudio, formed by Renier Winkelaar and Anke Boelens, the lamp is a juxtaposition of materials, with details made of steel structure and instead of oak.

Seen from a distance it looks like a table lamp, of which there is also a smaller version, but it really is two meters high and has a number of joints that can make it particularly articulated and easy to illuminate a large area of the house or even of the garden or of a terrace.


We are reminded of this by its same name, GIANT 1227 giant version of the table lamp created by the English Anglepoise, to celebrate 75 years of production Anglepoise 1227, the table lamp with an original design by George Carwardine.

GIANT 1227 has a directional structure, it is made of colored aluminum in shades of gray, orange, red, orange and cream; It holds a special 100-watt bulb, ideal for illuminating a great distance.

The giant table lamp is queued to new creations in mini version, Anglepoise Anglepoise Type1227 and Type1228, created by designer Kenneth Grange.

After 70 years of the famous L1, Luxit also created a few years ago a giant version of its most popular table lamp, born from the pen of Jac Jacobsen.

With a height of 2.3 meters and 80 kg of weight, this apparently seems very light is able to surprise, as well as the context for the likeness out of scale with its eponymous mini.

Great JJ, or the initials of the designer, is the archetype of the classic light table, then repeated in many versions and many other companies.

Rigorous and essential lines, an aluminum structure, available in white, black and gray, available also for outdoor use, which is only a detailed but oversized version of the original model from1937, created by the design center of ITre, group brand, together with the historical Luxit.

Giant lamps also for outdoor

Instead of the Finnish Martela lamp Swan XL, a giant version of the table lamp designed by Eero Aarnio.


Created specifically to be approached from a comfortable reading chair, it has an impressive silhouette, original and very much in contrast to the slender forms of giant lamps seen so far.

It consists of three elements, the base, the stem and the luminaire, it consists mostly of rotationally molded polyethylene (HDPE) and is available in three colors white, black and yellow. Swan XL is a floor lamp designed to be placed near the chair of a reader in need of light.
It provides an excellent focal point to illuminate a small corner of a private space, or in large public spaces.
In short, this product made in Finland meets the needs of anyone who needs lots of light!

Tolomeo XXL is a giant version of the table lamp created in 1987 by Michele De Lucchi and Giancarlo Fassina.

Base 92 cm concrete, with a cantilevered arms in polished aluminum and a diffuser in opal thermoplastic material.

1:4, for a luminaire that of the table lamp has only the forms, with its nearly 3 meters in height, which allow light environments also particularly large, always amazing for the unusual combination. Especially in the version for the outdoor.
The only drawback is that the design in this case has a price not exactly accessible: is around 6,000 Euros!
