About the Item

A sophisticated example of mid-century lighting, this table lamp combines a teardrop cork base with a slender, sculptural teak neck. The juxtaposition of earthy texture and refined woodwork captures the essence of modernist design: simplicity, warmth, and elegance. Completed with its shade, the lamp is both functional and decorative, embodying the artistry of mid-century interiors. The cork base offers organic tactility, with its teardrop form lending weight and balance to the composition. Rising gracefully, the teak neck provides contrast in both material and form, its sleek silhouette highlighting the natural grain of the wood. The result is a lamp that is equally sculptural and utilitarian. Mid-century designers often sought to integrate natural elements into everyday objects, and this piece exemplifies that philosophy. The cork’s texture softens the modernist geometry, while the teak introduces warmth and sophistication. Together, they achieve harmony in design. Large in scale, this lamp commands attention in any room. It functions as a focal point on a credenza, console, or sideboard, yet maintains versatility to complement pairs of seating or a bedroom setting. Its timeless materials ensure compatibility with a wide range of interiors, from mid-century to contemporary. Collectors and designers value lamps of this nature not only for their functional lighting but also for their sculptural presence. The balance of scale, material, and silhouette makes it an enduring work of design that transcends trends. Its relevance today underscores the timelessness of mid-century innovation. This cork and teak table lamp offers a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of mid-century design. Elegant, organic, and artfully proportioned, it is a striking addition to any curated interior.
