Ole Lighting Kora Floor Lamp

Choosing a statement floor lamp should be simple, but the details that get overlooked — shade construction, light diffusion, sustainability credentials — are exactly what determines whether a piece performs as well as it looks. The Kora is one of those lamps where the making matters as much as the result.

For floor lamps in living spaces, the shade is doing most of the work: it shapes the light, sets the ambience, and defines how the piece reads in a room. A woven or corded shade diffuses light softly through its structure rather than blocking it completely, creating warmth and texture in equal measure. The open-ribbed construction here means the E27 lamp source — that's the standard large-screw fitting used in most domestic lamps — is partially visible, adding a deliberate, artisan quality to the glow.

The Ole Lighting Kora Floor Lamp is a freestanding ambient light built around a two-tiered, bell-shaped shade hand-braided from cord made of recycled plastic bottles — approximately 95 metres of it per shade. The iron core and slim metal stem sit on a flat circular base, with a foot-operated inline switch for everyday ease. It takes one E27 LED bulb, not included, giving you full control over colour temperature and output.

The stepped, bi-tonal silhouette — a narrower upper cone meeting a flared lower section — gives the Kora a distinctive profile that sits apart from conventional drum or single-shade floor lamps. The shade is available in a wide range of colours, making it adaptable across interiors from pared-back Mediterranean to layered, eclectic schemes.

Installation is as straightforward as floor lamps get: no wiring, no driver, no ceiling cut-out. Plug in, fit your preferred E27 LED, and use the foot switch. Ole Lighting backs the Kora with a 3-year warranty. No IP rating is specified, so this is an indoor-only piece.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with brands whose design intent and material choices hold up under specification scrutiny. The Kora earns its place not just as a sustainable credential but as a genuinely considered object — right for projects where authenticity and atmosphere matter as much as aesthetics. We can advise on bulb pairing, colour selection, and lead times as part of your wider project coordination.
