About the Item
The Franz West Privat Lampe des Künstlers I is a functional floor lamp designed by the Austrian artist Franz West in 1989 for the Meta Memphis collection, characterized by its sculptural form, created from welded iron rods and a steel base, with a disquieting raw light bulb. Inspired by Viennese Actionism, the piece challenges traditional design by elevating functional objects into art, featuring an unpolished, raw aesthetic and encouraging viewer engagement.
Materials: The lamp is constructed from welded iron rods, a steel plate, and includes the necessary electrical fittings and cable.
Aesthetic: The lamp is noted for its raw, unpolished, and austere appearance, departing from conventional lighting design.
Purpose: West aimed to elevate everyday functional objects into sculptural art, encouraging interaction and creating a bold statement in a private or domestic setting.
