'Lavender Lion's Paw' Table Lamp in Nickel with Natural Scallop Shell Shade

About the Item

“Venus favors the bold.” —Ovid Introducing the Lavender Lion’s Paw Lamp, the first release from the 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 floor and table lamps made with hand-selected specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, placing the organic source material behind so much 20th century modernism front and center. Like its orange-hued sister lamp, Model No. 019A also shares a passing resemblance to Audrey II, but requires no care or feeding. Centered on a lavender-tinted cast-concrete base, with an unfinished nickel-plated column, knurled nickel hardware, and dark-brown cloth-covered cord with contrasting khaki inline switch, its shade is constructed from a matching pair of sustainably sourced, naturally translucent, variegated lavender Lion’s Paw scallop shells. Permanently fused open at the scallop's natural hinge, the shade is fully adjustable on the vertical axis. Perfect as a scene-stealing accent lamp—and even better at one's bedside, in a pair—its playful silhouette, sophisticated lines, rarefied materials, and inviting light will breathe fresh life into any interior. Made-to-order by hand in a numbered, signed edition by artist Christopher Tennant. Need something a bit more bespoke? Drop us a line.

By Tennant New York
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.
