Polygonal Black Ceramic Iridescent Lamp 1980s Postmodern Vintage

About the Item

A geometric table lamp, made of glazed ceramic, and finished with a leaf motif. An irregular pentagon, this piece features a jutting brass strip running through the middle to the bulb fitting, creating a distinct left and right to the base. Each side features iridescent leaves, that shimmer depending on the angle and light. Distinctly 1980s, and broadly inspired by the angular playfulness of the Memphis Milano group, this table lamp would make an excellent addition to any room - the dark tones mean that any eighties excess is ironed out into a suave, sophistcated piece. Please note that the shade is for display purposes only. However, if you require help looking for a lampshade, we can gladly point you in the right direction. The lamp is currently wired for EU plug sockets, but we can change this if required depending on the buyer’s location. Please contact us for international quotes.
