The defining body element across the family: a metal stem in either polished Gold or gun-metal grey finish. The brand's framing: "An elegant floor lamp with a metal frame with polished Gold or gun-metal grey finishing and 3D Metal Medusa logo applied to the stem." The stem reads as the lamp's primary visual line — the shade is supported on it as a hat sits on a coat stand.
Decorative element: a 3D Metal Medusa logo applied directly to the metal stem. Visible at eye-level on the floor lamp variants and at table height on the table lamp — the logo sits as a fashion-house signature on the body itself rather than on the shade. Pairs visually with other Versace Home pieces carrying the 3D Metal Medusa motif (Stiletto coffee tables, Stiletto bar cabinet handles, etc.).
Shade in aluminium, externally varnished Satin Grey. The interior surface is decorated — the Barocco pattern in black and matt gold, lighting a graphic register inside the shade visible only when the lamp is lit. Reads neutral exterior, reveals decorated interior — a classic two-register lighting design.
Alternative shade option: pongé fabric (a lightweight silk-weight textile with a soft sheen), in optical white or black. Fabric shade reads softer than the aluminium variant and creates a warmer light-quality. Choose pongé when the lamp should disappear into a soft-furnished room; choose aluminium with Barocco interior when the lamp itself should be a graphic element.
Internal diffusers in sandblasted plexiglas — frosts the bulb's direct light and spreads it evenly across the shade interior. Sandblasted (rather than smooth) plexiglas creates softer, more diffuse light than clear material. The diffuser is invisible from outside but is what gives the Narcissus its even-glow quality.
Detail of the stem with the 3D Metal Medusa logo applied. Choose polished Gold for warm-register rooms (paired with the Aurigian set in the catalogue or with gold-trimmed armchairs); choose gun-metal grey for cooler architectural interiors. The Medusa is identical in both finishes — only the surrounding stem finish changes the read.
The shorter slim-shade floor lamp. The 41 cm shade diameter reads compact; 146 cm overall height places the shade at standing-eye level — directs light down to a seated reader. Choose for a reading corner beside an armchair.
Taller slim-shade floor lamp. Same Ø 41 shade, 172 cm overall — places the shade well above standing eye-level for ambient light rather than focused reading light. Sits as a vertical accent in a tall room or alongside a high-back sofa.
The shorter wide-shade floor lamp. Larger Ø 52 shade casts a broader light pool; 150 cm overall keeps the shade at adult standing-eye register. Wider shade reads more substantial visually — choose when the lamp should anchor a seating group.
The tallest variant — Ø 52 shade, 180 cm overall. Sits as a primary lighting statement piece in a room with high ceilings or generous floor-to-ceiling proportions. Wide shade plus tall stem reads as architectural rather than incidental.
The pendant variant. Ø 80 shade is substantial — sized to hang above a dining table, reading area, or kitchen island as the room's primary downlight. The 41 cm shade height matches the floor-lamp shade proportions; same metal-and-aluminium construction inverted to hang from the ceiling.

The licensed manufacturer's lighting collection page hosts the Narcissus family alongside Goddess (id 424), Acropolis (id 39994), Versace Galaxy (id 39628), and Medusa '95 (id 39981) lamps. No press launch year is published for the Narcissus family; treat as a longer-running line in the Versace Home lighting catalogue.
Light quality and visual register. Aluminium externally Satin Grey with Barocco-decorated interior reads as a primary statement piece — the Barocco pattern is invisible when off but glows graphically when lit, so the lamp is itself an evening-mode design feature. Pongé fabric shade is softer — more diffuse light, quieter visual register, suited to rooms where the lamp should add light without adding decoration. Choose aluminium when the lamp is a centerpiece; choose pongé when it should support a busy room.
Match the room's hardware register. Polished Gold pairs with warm Versace pieces — Medusa-medallion accessories, gold-base armchairs, gold-trim furniture. Gun-metal grey reads cooler and more architectural — pairs naturally with the Stiletto family's matt aluminium hardware or with Medallion coffee tables' stainless steel. The 3D Metal Medusa on the stem is identical in either finish; only the stem itself reflects the choice.
Function dictates. Ø 41 × 146 H or Ø 52 × 150 H — at adult standing-eye level, focused light pool, suited beside an armchair as reading light. Ø 41 × 172 H — slim-shade tall variant, ambient register at room scale rather than focused reader light. Ø 52 × 180 H — primary statement lamp, broad ambient register, architectural in a high-ceiling room. Match the shade diameter to the seating group's scale (Ø 41 for single armchair, Ø 52 for sofa or sectional).
Above primary horizontal surfaces. The Ø 80 shade is sized to hang above a dining table (Stiletto, V-Marble, La Greca, or La Medusa families all have round or rectangular tables that pair proportionally), above a kitchen island, or above a generous reading area where a high ceiling justifies a substantial pendant. Hang the bottom of the shade 80-90 cm above the table surface for typical dining use; lower (60-70 cm) for ambient or task lighting at countertop height.
Yes — they're designed as separate complete families but share Versace Home's lighting vocabulary. Narcissus has the wider, flatter shade silhouette with the Barocco interior register; Goddess (id 424) has the curved opaline-glass shade with applied Medusa logo — different design language. Pair them deliberately for graphic contrast (Narcissus floor lamp behind a sofa, Goddess table lamp on a side table); or stay within one family for a unified register.
