About the Item

"Venus favors the bold." —Ovid The Wrapped Lavender Lion’s Paw Floor Lamp is the statuesque standout of the Venus Collection, a whimsical family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features table lamps, floor lamps, and sconces made with hand-selected specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, putting the organic source material behind so much 20th century modernism front and center. First synthesized for a private client from the DNA of its table-sized sister lamp, Model No. 23 is centered on a graduated, two-tiered lavender-tinted cast-concrete base, with a papercord-wrapped column, unfinished brass hardware, chocolate-brown cloth-covered cord, and black Bakelite Achille Castiglioni-designed on/off foot switch. We liked it so much we decided to add it to the family. Its shade is constructed from a matching pair of sustainably sourced, naturally translucent, variegated lavender Lion’s Paw scallop shells. Permanently fused open at the scallop's natural hinge, the shade is fully adjustable on the vertical axis. If you come across a chicer reading light please let us know. Made-to-order by hand in a numbered, signed edition by artist Christopher Tennant. Need something a bit more bespoke? Drop us a line. Made to order by hand. Ships in 3-5 weeks.
