Articulated arms balanced by springs, and a conical shade with a rounded crown, make up this illustrative floor lamp. Pick a gloss colour and a plug type, and the configurator records both for a quote.
Articulated floor lamps are chosen for reach and adjustability as much as colour. The shade needs to swing over a reading chair, then fold back out of the way. Gloss colours like slate blue and mustard give the lamp a cheerful, designed look, and buyers are often choosing between a safe neutral and the colour they actually like.

What you can configure
The demo shows gloss white, black, slate blue and mustard; brick red and grey are also part of the range. Arms and shade hold one pose in each image, so the gloss colour is all you are comparing. The plug type, UK, EU or US, is chosen separately and appears in the summary. It leaves the image unchanged but decides which market version is supplied.
- Colour: Gloss White, Black, Slate Blue, Mustard
- Plug: UK, EU, US
Why a configurator suits floor lamps
Lamps like this often reach buyers through distributors and independent shops in several countries. A distributor in France orders EU versions, a shop in Chicago orders US ones, and a UK stockist orders a mix of colours for display. Six colours with three plug types gives eighteen SKUs, and dealer orders sent by email leave plenty of room for error.
A trade configurator lets each dealer build an order line by line: colour, plug, quantity. It can lock the plug to the dealer's market, show trade pricing for their account and send the order straight into the brand's system. That replaces a spreadsheet re-keyed by hand, which is where wrong plugs and missing lines tend to appear.
The same tool can sit on stockists' own sites for retail buyers. A shop can embed the configurator, show the colours it carries and pass enquiries back to the brand or fulfil them itself. For the brand, every stockist then presents the range accurately, with the same images and the same colour names.
How a production version would be built
Image-based is enough: six gloss colours rendered from a fixed angle, plus two or three images of the arms at different positions. The bigger job is the trade layer. The brand supplies SKUs per colour and plug, dealer accounts with their market and pricing, minimum order quantities and stockist lists. Retail visitors can be routed to the nearest stockist or to the basket, and dealer orders reach an ERP or CRM as structured lines. The product configurator service page outlines how integrations like these are scoped.

Questions about floor lamp configurators
Can distributors place orders through the configurator with their own pricing?
Yes. Each dealer logs in to an account that carries their market, price list and any minimum order. The configurator shows their prices, defaults the plug to their market and sends the order as structured lines. It removes the re-keying that causes most errors in dealer orders.
Can stockists embed the configurator on their own websites?
Yes. A lightweight embed can show the colours each stockist carries and either pass the enquiry back to you or add to their own basket. It keeps images and colour names consistent across every stockist, which matters for gloss colours that are easily misrepresented.
Can retail buyers be sent to their nearest stockist?
Yes. After configuring, a buyer can enter a postcode and see stockists that carry that colour and plug type. If none is nearby, the configurator can offer direct ordering instead. Brands with a dealer network often prefer this to competing with their own stockists.
How do you show the spring-balanced arms in use?
Three images of the arms at different positions, low over a chair, raised and folded back, show the range of movement clearly. A short looping clip is an alternative. Either way, keep the colour consistent across the sequence so buyers see the movement in their chosen finish.
