About the Item
A striking and sculptural ceramic table lamp designed by Lee Rosen for Design Technics, finished in an unusually vivid yellow glaze that adds a bold visual impact. The lamp is signed on the reverse just above the cord, a hallmark of Rosen’s studio work.
The intensity of the yellow glaze is likely the result of a firing anomaly—a reminder that even in controlled environments, kiln temperature, placement, and material interaction can produce unexpected and often beautiful variations. These moments of unpredictability were not uncommon in mid-century studio ceramics and often led to unique, one-of-a-kind results cherished by collectors and designers alike.
Design Technics, founded in the 1940s, was known for its integration of modernist form and hand-applied glaze techniques, bringing artisanal integrity to architectural interiors. Rosen’s work in particular stood out for its quiet sculptural strength and expressive surfaces.
Lamps like this were favored by mid-century designers and architects—including Edward Wormley and Florence Knoll—for their ability to bridge handmade texture and modern form. Today, this lamp’s radiant color and clean profile make it a show-stopping accent in minimalist, eclectic, or craft-forward interiors.
A rare piece that captures the spontaneity, artistry, and material beauty at the heart of American studio ceramics—vibrant, expressive, and unmistakably modern.
