About the Item
A commanding Mid-Century Brutalist table lamp, this sculptural masterpiece fuses raw materiality with poetic form. Standing 30.75 inches (78 cm) to the socket and 43.25 inches (110 cm) with shade, it possesses the scale and presence of a studio artwork—an illuminated sculpture that defines space rather than merely occupying it.
The body is composed of rough-hewn solid wood, carved into intersecting geometric volumes that seem both balanced and precarious—an architectural meditation in form. From the upper section emerges a coral-like bouquet of ridges, encircling a resin inlay with a glowing amber-red translucence that reads like captured fire. Above, a patinated metal shade—an intricate composition of half-cylinders, punctuated by X- and O-shaped perforations and golden stud accents—crowns the piece with theatrical elegance.
Every element celebrates the Brutalist ethos: truth to material, hand-wrought imperfection, and expressive asymmetry. The interplay between wood, resin, and metal reveals both weight and light, earth and flame—qualities that make this lamp feel alive under illumination.
Fully rewired to modern standards and ready for use. The finish has been carefully stabilized and preserved, retaining its original texture and rich patina. Minor age traces remain, consistent with the piece’s vintage authenticity.
This lamp is ideal for interiors that value sculptural lighting, modern craft, and dramatic mood—perfect for a collector’s den, a moody living space, or a gallery-inspired setting. It stands as both light source and statement object, merging art and function in spectacular fashion.
