TORSBO
TORSBO table lamp with an aluminium base and a rectangular white fabric shade, designed by Monika Mulder, the Dutch designer behind the MELODI and KRUX lamps. The model went on sale in 2014 and appeared in just one IKEA catalogue, the 2016 edition, alongside Mulder's KLABB lamp. IKEA described it as a simple way to create a soft, cosy atmosphere at home: the textile shade spreads the light gently and decoratively, and the slim aluminium stem keeps the whole piece quiet and contemporary. The maker recommended an opal E27 bulb for even light, and a lint remover for dusting the shade. The lamp has a rotary switch and a 193 cm cord; the bulb was sold separately. It was made in off-white and dark red versions; sales ended around 2017. This unit was manufactured in week 8 of 2016, confirmed by the code 1608 on its label.
