Frank Gehry Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much is a Frank Gehry Lamp?
Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The name of Frank Gehry's chair depends on which piece you're referring to, as the designer has produced quite a few chairs over the course of his career. Arguably, his most famous chair is the S-shaped Wiggle chair, crafted out of corrugated cardboard. He also designed several chairs out of ribbon-like pieces of bent wood, such as the armless, low-backed Hat Trick chair, the curvy Cross Check chair and the tall High Sticking chair. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage Frank Gehry chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The material used in Frank Gehry's Wiggle chair is the type of corrugated cardboard that is typically reserved for making architectural models. The piece comes from Gehry's Easy Edges collection of paper furniture. Gehry was inspired to produce the Wiggle chair and the rest of his Easy Edges pieces because he believed that the seating options available to consumers when the chair debuted in 1972 were too expensive. Find a selection of vintage Frank Gehry furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Frank Lloyd Wright made lamps. A stained-glass lamp he designed in the early 1900s was found at an antique shop in Chicago, abandoned during World War II. The lamp went on to break records at Christie’s auction, selling for over $700,000 in 1998. Shop a collection of expertly vetted Frank Lloyd Wright pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
