Vintage “Top-Light” 25 Bulb Minimalist Aluminum Table Lamp

About the Item

A tall, sculptural and uncommon “Top-Light” Minimalist table lamp comprised of 25 individually illuminated graduated metal rods. Each aluminum rod is topped by a pill-sized bulb and is equidistantly set in a square wood base finished in satin black lacquer. Its spare, futuristic design calls to mind Harry Bertoia’s abstract “Sonambient” sounding sculptures from the late-1960s or early-1970s. Has inline switch and retains original “Top-Light” and “Made in Sweden” labels on underside.

  • Handmade geometric sand ceramic and brass table lamp, minimalist styled. Brazil
    By Atelier BAM
    Located in Sao Paulo, SP
    Minimalist-styled sand ceramic table lamp reveals the textures and colors gradian of its materials, handmade movements, and unexpected organic form. Slowly air-dried for more than 30 days, until it reaches a few hours into a low temperature hoven, to reach its final color and form. During all this process, the clay disc will take an unexpected organics movement in its form, almost like a living material, making each object unique in its details and colors. The brass part would be added at the end and tailored for each piece. The sculpture results in a process of hand modeling and details carving of grey...

  • Ligne Light 1, by Sabine Marcelis, Blown Glass, Neon Light, Glass Table Lamp
    By Sabine Marcelis
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    The Ligne sculptures were made during a summer artist residency at Pilchuck school of glass. As with many of Sabine Marcelis's explorations with light, these objects were born from a curiosity to explore how a material volume can interact with a single line of light and in this case also how two very different ways of working with glass can elevate eachother. Together with talented neon benders, Sabine Marcelis hand-bent each of the neon lights to wrap around the various glass volumes, accentuating their mass and in turn, the glass volumes filtering the light. Dutch-Kiwi designer Sabine Marcelis’s work is at the forefront of contemporary material innovation in product and installation design. She works with glass manufacturers and more, forging partnerships across her industry to bring her ambitiously experimental projects to fruition. Marcelis’s focus is on allowing happenstance sensory experiences to emerge by juxtaposing combinations of unlikely materials and colors. She was educated at the Design Academy Eindhoven and since founding her eponymous studio in 2011 in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, she has built a remarkable roster of clients in fashion, architecture and art. She has created signature pieces for the likes of Rem Koolhaas’s architecture firm OMA, high-fashion labels Fendi and Isabel Marant and luxury beauty brand Aesop. She has also exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan and won Wallpaper* magazine’s Designer of the Year award for 2020. Marcelis was invited to create a sculptural intervention for the interiors of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lily Reich’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, which saw the debut of the pair’s timeless Barcelona chair in 1929. For her “No Fear of Glass” exhibition, the designer subverted the original request made to van der Rohe to “not use too much glass” by designing chaise longues, pillar lights...
