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...
