This original black and white photograph of one of Richmond Barthé's rare, little-known sculptures was taken by the famous studio of Morgan and Marvin Smith, who located on West 125th Street next to the renowned Apollo Theater.

Monument Lamp - Triangle, Luna Pearl Granite, solid steel billet and matte opal glass globe Louis Jobst' Monument Lamp - Triangle is high quality, bespoke and handmade using solid raw materials. The bases are finished with a black patina and cut from 90mm thick steel billet. Markings from the process are visible and intentionally left, exposing the character of the material. A triangular block of Luna-pearl granite slots into the steel base. The opal glass diffuser is hand blown with a matte finish. The concept was to design a lamp triptych (triangle, circle and square) made out of high quality materials for a formal interior space.
