Adjustable 'Abalone Task Lamp' in Brass with Natural Abalone Seashell Shade
Located in Brooklyn, NY
“Venus favors the bold.” —Ovid
Introducing the Abalone Task Lamp, the fourth release from the Fall 2023 Venus Collection, a whimsical new family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and the natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features table lamps and wall sconces made with hand-selected vintage specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, putting the organic source material behind so much 20th century modernism front and center.
The sexily serpentine Model No. 021 is a double-jointed riff on that 20th century workaday staple—the humble desktop task lamp. At 16” tall, it’s slightly more petite than the Abalone Lawyer’s Lamp...

Contemporary Brass and Leather Floor Lamp with Pleated Shade, De-light f2
Located in Paris, FR
The De.Light F2 designed by Jonathan Amar is a sculptural floor lamp that merges French design sensibility with artisanal Moroccan craftsmanship. Built on a directional pear-shaped base in brass, the slender arm rises on a subtle diagonal, offering both balance and fluidity.
Entirely handcrafted, the arm is adorned with a hand-braided leather detail at the top—an homage to the studio’s signature blend of tactile materials and precise construction. The shade, available in pleated fabric or hand-woven wicker, is elegantly mounted on a directional stem, allowing the light to be easily adjusted for ambiance or reading.
Multidirectional and minimalist in silhouette, the De.Light F2 embodies movement and refinement. Each element—from the saddle-stitched leather to the precision-turned brass—is crafted between the studio’s ateliers in Paris, Rabat, and Leiria, culminating in a lamp that is both decorative and functional.
Collection: Flow
Materials: Solid brass, hand-braided leather, fabric or wicker shade
Lighting: 1x60 W Max E14 (230V) – LED / 120V – LED
