'World’s Fair' Bamboo Floor Lamp with Parasol Shade by Christopher Tennant
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The World’s Fair Collection is a family of fixtures handmade from sustainably sourced materials and upcycled antique paper parasols given to visitors at the 20th century’s most illustrious cultural expo. Model No. 001 features an oil-paper shade constructed from a vintage souvenir parasol handed out at the Japanese Pavilion during the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. It sits atop a lacquered bamboo column with rattan wrapping and a painted seagrass base. Brass fittings, leather accents, and a cloth-covered cord complete the modernist profile.
