The Mirelden Floor Lamp started from the pleated paper lanterns hung on tall wooden poles at summer garden parties, glowing at head height after the sun went down. We kept the round, finely pleated lantern and set it on a single tapered post, thicker at the bottom and narrowing as it rises, like a pole planted in the lawn. A small curved bracket ties the post to a flat round foot. Lit, the pleats catch the light in thin bright lines, the way those lanterns did across the garden.
