One Floor Lamp

A well-chosen floor lamp is a versatile and essential addition to any home. Suitable for any room, a floor lamp provides both functional lighting and an aesthetic touch, enhancing the atmosphere of your space. Its portability allows you to easily reposition it as you rearrange furniture or adapt to changes in your lifestyle. We view a quality floor lamp as a lasting investment that can move with you from one home to the next, seamlessly integrating into new environments.

The one floor lamp we think you should own is the Yuh Floor Lamp.

Designed by the Danish-Italian duo GamFratesi for Louis Poulsen in 2017, the Yuh lamp reflects a perfect fusion of minimalism, functionality, and personalisation. GamFratesi’s vision was to create a lamp that feels personal to each user, effortlessly blending into any space while adding a touch of warmth and intimacy. The Yuh’s name captures this intent, derived from the phonetic form of “you,” symbolising a design that prioritises individual experience.

Originally released in classic black and white, the Yuh now comes in brushed brass and Carrara marble, offering a touch of understated luxury.

The beauty of the Yuh lies in its perfect balance of form and function. It casts a gentle, glare-free light downward, with a soft glow escaping through a slim opening at the top of the shade to enhance the ambiance. Powered by integrated LED technology, it offers stepless dimming (from 15% to 100%) and a timer that can automatically turn it off after 4 or 8 hours. The memory function remembers your preferred brightness settings, and a discreet button on the stem serves as both a dimmer and switch.

What really sets the Yuh apart is its adaptability. The shade can rotate, rise, and lower, giving you complete control over where the light falls. Whether you’re focusing on a task or creating a cozy glow, the Yuh adjusts to your needs with ease.

The version we like the most combines the white shade with a brushed brass stem and Italian Carrara marble base, adding a degree of elegance to its minimalist design. With its thoughtful details and flexibility, the Yuh lamp by Louis Poulsen offers a sophisticated lighting solution that is as functional as it is personal, fitting effortlessly into any space.
