Large Surculus Table Lamp by Studio Palatin

About the Item

Large Surculus table lamp by Studio Palatin. Wireless. Dimensions: H 60 x D 15 cm. Materials: Bronze, Japanese hosho paper. SURCULUS means “The shoot, branch, sprout”. This Surculus collection of lamps was inspired by the ever present and regenerating force of nature. A prolonged stay in the country inspired the artist to capture growing branches and sprouts in an abstract bronze sculpture. The Surculus alludes to a branch that undulates its way up to the gently lit paper shade and reaches beyond it with its highly polished finial. Darker patination and deeper ridges at the bottom of the lamp transition to gentler ridges and lighter colors at the top symbolizing tender new growth and the rejuvenation of the old. The folds of the hand-made paper shade echo the ridges in the bronze base and catch the light like delicate flower petals. The body of the Surculus Lamp is executed as a bronze sculpture in the lost wax method. Each piece is made by hand, carefully polished and patinated therefore each lamp is unique. (Five different finials are available.) The shade is crafted by the artist from Japanese Hosho paper. The Surculus lamp combines the old traditions of handcrafted bronze as well as new technology. Its form and purpose transitions from a traditional candlestick to a contemporary portable, wireless, rechargeable LED light. Barbara Palatin-Doyle is an artist, a docent for the Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the founder of Studio Palatin. Born and bred in Vienna, the artist lives and works between her home town and New York. She specializes in handcrafted, sculptural lighting in limited editions. Her passions are table lamps and candlesticks. As an artist, she incorporates materials and techniques reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of the 17th and 18th century in contemporary design, combining art with functionality.
