Description

Illuminating your home with a diffused light, the Biblioteque Nationale also serves as a strikingly modern bookshelf and offers a convenient portable device charger. The base, rod stand, and diffuser of this standing floor lamp are made of chrome-plated, die-cast zinc; the base cover is a zinc-plated P04 steel sheet. The internal diffuser and lamp-holder stand are opal color-injected die-stamped PCs, and the upper ring is a clear injection die-stamped PC. Brackets are polished stainless steel. Diffuser options include aluminized bronze, aluminized silver, fumée, plissé cloth, or transparent. Base includes a USB charging outlet compatible with most smartphones (max 2A).

Invoking the transformative power of literature, artist Phillippe Starck calls Biblioteque Nationale, "A magic bookcase where books take flight towards the light."

When do orders ship?

You can see estimated lead times under "Delivery", above.

Newly made items ship from a warehouse or are made-to-order. There may be a lead time depending on the piece. We'll keep you updated if there is.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
