Monumental Bamboo Floor Lamp with Japanese Parasol Shade — Tennant New York

About the Item

Introducing the Wild Kingdom Collection, a scene-stealing set of maximalist art lamps inspired by the majesty of nature. The monumental Big Bambu floor lamp series is a first in several respects: It’s the first series we’ve made using contemporary (i.e. non-vintage) traditional Japanese parasols; the first we’ve made at such an outsized scale (though it does have a forbearer); and the first that required a blowtorch. The "Blue Cheetah" Big Bambu Floor Lamp consists of a triple-tiered terra cotta-tinted cast-plaster base, a lacquered 1.5” bamboo column with pyrographed cheetah spots, and a cloth-like blue-and-yellow polka-dot rice-paper shade, with terra-cotta-colored lambskin and brown leather accents, made from a contemporary Japanese parasol. The shade, which has been waterproofed with tung oil in the traditional manner, is reassuringly durable and difficult to tear. Unlacquered brass hardware, a green-and-cream houndstooth-cloth-covered cord, and a vintage-style plug complete the modernist vibe. The column is detachable from the base for easy shipping via UPS in three separate boxes. Made-to-order by hand in New York in a signed and numbered edition by artist Christopher Tennant.
