About the Item

A striking example of postmodern design, this table lamp features a bold, geometric silhouette that balances industrial materials with sculptural elegance. The black conical shade offers a dramatic contrast to the brushed aluminum stem, while the circular black base grounds the piece with minimalist precision. At the top, the well-designed Finial adds a touch of artistic flair, while creating the illusion that the lamp is one singular metal tube. Designed circa 1980s, this lamp reflects the aesthetic ideals of the postmodern movement — where playful form meets modern functionality. Ideal for contemporary interiors, it works beautifully as a desk lamp, bedside piece, or ambient lighting in a curated design setting. Photographed atop an Eames LTW and with a wire rocker for scale.
