Nova Quattro Floor Lamp, Scallop Shade

Quattro Floor Lamp, Scallop Shade is a floor lamp that puts a pool of light at seating height without needing a side table.

The light is 1500 lumens of 1500K warm light, and the bulb is in the box. It uses a zipper switch on the socket. Two finishes let you tune it to the palette you already have.

The Design Story

Nova opened in a Brooklyn factory in 1923 and now draws from Venice Beach, California. The line is what Nova calls California Modern: furniture-grade wood, metal and glass shaped into lamps meant to be lived with.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel and linen, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 61 in tall, 18 in wide, and 18 in deep, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 1500K warm light, CRI 90+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. Choose your finish: body finish in natural ash and dark walnut.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. Plug it into a regular outlet; setup is quick. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends.

California Proposition 65: this product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

LED vs. Incandescent

A bulb’s brightness is its lumen count, and its wattage is only the electricity it uses. Here that means 1500 lumens from a 14W LED, the same punch as an old 100W incandescent, without the heat. Incandescents read a touch warmer and softer, but they run hot and burn out faster. Switching later is easy: keep the same base, and choose a dimmable, flicker-free LED rated 1500K.

Putting It Together

Expect to do a little final assembly when it arrives. Nova has a printable guide for this model: assembly instructions (PDF). It is worth a quick read before the box shows up.

Details and Dimensions

Where It Shines

It looks best by a sofa or armchair, in a living room corner, or near a bed. It is not the right pick for anyone who wants light up high or a lamp that reaches over a seating group.
