About the Item

Jordan Mozer (b. 1958), H57 Torchiere/ Floor Lamp; Cast Bronze, Blown Glass, Made in Chicago, USA, This standing lamp is a 2015 variation on the 2008 design created for Hotel 57. 15" in diameter and 77" tall (38cm in diameter x 195.5cm tall). Signed. PROCESS + MATERIALS The lamp base was hand carved in maple and cast in 95% recycled red-bronze. It was then hand polished and encouraged to patina by elixirs and flames. The trunk is composed of textured bronze tube. The shade is composed of pleated linen, which was fire treated. A cast bronze apple-blossom finial secures the shade to the lamp shaft. The wiring is suitable for commercial assembly spaces and bears a UL label. The cord is outfitted with a shirred textile "sweater". THE STORY Jordan Mozer and Associates, Limited (JMA) was commissioned to renovate a hotel on 57th street between Park Avenue and Lexington. The building was built in the 1920s as a progressive hotel for women in the arts, academia and business seeking an alternative to traditional women’s boarding houses in the flapper era. The project was conceived by Mr. Blum, an upper east-side fashion designer. It was built with natural materials and featured idiosyncratic hand- made details, such as wrought iron and hand made bricks. Mozer's renovation celebrated the vertical lines of flapper fashion and the spirit of the original building. Mozer's studio designed and hand-made studio lighting and furnishings for the project. SMALL BATCH STUDIO FURNISHINGS Mozer Studios LLC handcrafts all of their small batch products. They are never mass produced. We invite our patrons to embrace the nuanced irregularities of the form, surface and finishes as evidence of handwork, defining each piece as 1 of kind...
