Tala
Low-energy lighting designed and engineered in London
Tala was founded in 2015 by three Edinburgh University friends. Its London team designs and engineers its LED lighting in-house, in aluminium and brass rather than plastic, and builds it to be durable and repairable.

Poise Adjustable Floor Lamp & Sphere V
Same clutch-adjusted stem, bigger globe: an 8-inch mouth-blown sphere at the top of the rise.
The Sphere V is a 200mm hand-blown matte white globe running 720 lumens at CRI 95, sliding from 2800K to 2000K as the integrated dimmer comes down. The Poise stem sets anywhere between 49 and 67 inches on a machined tightening clutch, over a weighted 8-inch base. Tala is a London-based certified B Corporation — see the range in our Tala collection.

Common Questions
How is this different from the Oval II version?
The fixture is identical; the bulb is not. Sphere V is a 200mm round globe at 2000–2800K, where Oval II is an elongated shape. Sphere V reads softer and more diffuse from across a room.
How tall does it go?
From 49.125 inches to 66.875, held by a machined tightening clutch. That covers ambient height beside a sofa through to reading height over a chair back.
Can the bulb be replaced?
Yes. It is a standard E26 fitting, and Tala sells the mouth-blown Sphere V separately — part of the company's stated commitment to repairable rather than disposable lighting.
