Marks & Spencer
M&S Scalloped Glass Swan Neck Floor Lamp White
£100
Price History
Description
The graceful swan-neck silhouette of this floor lamp brings an elegant, sculptural feel to your space. Its slender satin brass stem sweeps over into a scalloped glass shade, which directs a soft pool of light below. A coordinating circular base completes the refined design.
Our Stylist Says
I love this floor lamp for its elegant yet playful design - the swan neck adds a soft curve that feels both contemporary and timeless. The white ceramic shade gives it a clean, versatile look that works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors, but it can also bring a touch of sophistication to eclectic or Scandinavian styles. Practical styling tips include positioning it near armchairs or reading nooks for functional lighting, or using it as a statement piece in a corner to add visual interest. It pairs well with natural materials and neutral palettes but can also serve as a subtle contrast in more colourful, layered rooms.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
