Pair, Les Heritiers Bronze Faux Bois Tree Trunk Form Table Lamps - Signed

About the Item

Pair of Sculptural Table Lamps Les Héritiers (French, contemporary) Cast bronze with black patinated finish France, early 21st century This expressive pair of table lamps by the French design duo Les Héritiers embodies their distinctive approach to contemporary decorative arts—where poetic form and elemental materiality converge. Sculpted entirely in bronze and finished with a richly mottled black patina, the lamps take the form of stylized, elongated stems that taper upward in a subtly irregular, undulating silhouette. Along each shaft, nodules emerge as if thorns or buds, lending an almost botanical quality to the otherwise minimal vertical form. The surface retains the tactility of the casting process, deliberately rough in places, and polished in others, capturing the play of light across the bronze with organic nuance. Each lamp rises from a flared and rounded base, providing visual balance to the vertical thrust of the stem. At the foot, the bronze is inscribed with the designer's name, “Les Héritiers,” confirming its authenticity. The use of bronze—traditionally associated with monumentality and permanence—heightens the sculptural gravitas of the design, while the black patina evokes both the timelessness of archaeological relics and the sleekness of modern sculpture. Les Héritiers, founded in France in the 1990s, are known for their conceptual approach to functional objects. Their work often straddles the line between design and art, drawing on vernacular forms, natural motifs, and theatrical contrasts. These lamps, with their thornlike verticality, are at once suggestive of Gothic botanical silhouettes and contemporary totems, reflecting the designers’ penchant for unexpected associations and surrealist undertones. While firmly utilitarian in function, these lamps were conceived as artistic gestures—quietly dramatic, sensuously tactile, and visually commanding. As such, they serve not only as sources of light but also as sculptural interventions in space. Whether placed in a minimalist interior or a more layered, eclectic setting, they offer a powerful visual anchor, simultaneously restrained and expressive. Measures: 4.5" w (base) x 20.5" h.
