Table lamp by Kerim Babur

About the Item

This table lamp by Kerim Babur, designed in 1972 and produced by Bonomi Form in Italy, is a striking example of avant-garde lighting design. Its sculptural, flexible form, crafted from chromed metal, gives it a bold, futuristic presence that is both artistic and functional. The coiled, spring-like structure allows for dynamic positioning, making it not just a lamp but a conversation piece that embodies movement and fluidity. What makes this piece truly unique is its playful yet industrial aesthetic, a hallmark of 1970s experimental design. Unlike traditional table lamps, this one blends sculptural artistry with practical illumination, offering a rare combination of form and function. It is an ideal choice for collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate mid-century and modernist influences, as well as those looking to introduce a statement piece into their interiors. The lamp is in good condition, with wear consistent with age and use, preserving its original character and authenticity. Its chromed metal surface maintains its reflective sheen, enhancing its futuristic appeal. Despite its age, the craftsmanship remains intact, a testament to the high-quality production by Bonomi Form, known for pushing the boundaries of contemporary lighting design. Designed in the early 1970s, a period of bold experimentation in industrial and decorative arts, this lamp reflects the era’s fascination with space-age aesthetics and innovative materials. The designer, Kerim Babur, is recognized for his unconventional approach to lighting, turning everyday objects into sculptural masterpieces. This piece embodies that philosophy, making it a rare find for those who appreciate vintage Italian design. For potential buyers, this lamp is not just a lighting fixture but a collector’s item with historical significance. Its dimensions, standing at 125 cm in height and 15 cm in width, make it suitable for placement on tables, shelves, or even as a floor accent. Whether used as a functional light source or displayed as a design object, it adds a distinctive character to any space, making it a valuable addition to any curated interior.
