About the Item

An exquisite hand-forged table lamp crafted by self-taught artist Curtis Norton, constructed from elegantly bent sheet stainless steel and polished to a high luster. The lamp’s sculptural form commands presence, with clean, flowing lines that highlight Norton’s mastery of metalworking and design. Norton’s process involves meticulously hand-forging stainless steel, a challenging material prized for its durability and corrosion resistance but notoriously difficult to shape. By heating, bending, and carefully polishing the metal, Norton transforms industrial material into refined, sculptural art, showcasing both technical precision and creative vision. As a self-taught artist, Norton embodies the spirit of independence and innovation that has been pivotal to the evolution of modernism. Self-taught creators often bring fresh perspectives unbound by formal conventions, driving experimentation and expanding the boundaries of art and design. Norton’s work reflects this legacy, blending traditional craftsmanship with postmodern ideas to create objects that are both functional and profoundly artistic. Rooted in the postmodern design movement of the 1980s, Norton’s lamps celebrate craftsmanship as art, where the maker’s hand and process become visible and integral to the work. His pieces embrace bold form, texture, and tactile surfaces, breaking from minimalist rigidity to explore dynamic, expressive shapes. This lamp is a perfect synthesis of artisan skill and contemporary design, making it both a practical light source and a captivating focal point in any interior. Measurements are taken to the top of the socket.
