Nova Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp

Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp is a torchiere floor lamp that bounces light up off the ceiling so the whole room feels lifted.

The light is 1500 lumens of 3000K warm light. It dims from a dimmer on the floor.

The Design Story

Nova has been making lamps since 1923. In the 1950s and 60s its designer Peter Morelli turned the arc lamp into an American living-room staple, and the brand still works from that same idea: good light, honest materials, a shape you notice.

Why You’ll Love It

It reads as furniture, not hardware. Built from steel and wood & marble, it has the weight a thin fixture lacks. It measures 72.2 in tall, 14.2 in wide, and 14.2 in deep, so the scale is easy to plan around. The light is warm and even: 1500 lumens of 3000K warm light, CRI 95+, so wood, fabric and skin tones look right. The single finish is chosen to sit with most palettes.

Made for Real Life

Day to day it is easy. Plug it into a regular outlet. Dust it with a dry cloth, keep harsh cleaners away, and use a dimmable, flicker-free LED if you dim it, as Nova recommends. The marble base is genuine marble, per Nova, so no two bases are exactly alike.

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 3000K.

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 in a dark corner, next to a sofa, or in a room that needs ambient glow. It is not the right pick for anyone who needs focused light for close reading, since torchieres favor ambient light.

How hard is setup for the Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp?

Plug it into a regular outlet. Nova lists final assembly as required.

Is the marble base real stone?

Per Nova, yes: it is genuine marble, not resin, so the veining and tone are never identical from one base to the next.

How should I clean the Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp?

Use a dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. A damp cloth is fine on clear or mirror glass, and Nova suggests a touch-up pen for small scratches on wood or gold leaf.

Is there a warranty on the Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp?

Yes, a 1-year limited warranty. Nova covers defects in material or workmanship under normal use for 1 year when a lamp is bought through a retailer like us (its own website sells with 3 years). Nova decides whether to repair, replace or refund. Damage from pets, modification, use outside the U.S. and incandescent bulbs are excluded. Write to us first if anything arrives wrong.

Is there a guide for putting the Lodi Torchiere Floor Lamp together?

There is: Nova provides a PDF of the assembly steps for this model, linked under Putting It Together, and a printed copy ships in the box.

Why We Love It

Our take: Nova makes lighting that behaves like a design piece. It has a clear silhouette, it dims, and it will not look dated in a few years.
