This sculptural table lamp, by the renowned French designers Adrien Audoux and Frida Minnet, beautifully reflects the organic aesthetic that made their work so distinctive during the 1950s. Combining natural materials with traditional craftsmanship, the design embodies the warm, rustic elegance that has become synonymous with the French Riviera style.
The lamp is handcrafted from thick braided rope, meticulously knotted to create a striking architectural form. At its center sits an authentic antique green blown-glass fishing float, originally used on fishing nets, measuring 14 cm (5.5 in) in diameter. The luminous green glass contrasts beautifully with the warm natural fibers, creating a unique interplay of texture, color, and light.
An exceptional decorative object, the lamp is equally captivating whether illuminated or displayed as a sculptural piece. Its timeless design makes it a perfect addition to interiors ranging from French Mid-Century and Mediterranean to Wabi-Sabi and organic modern spaces.
The lamp is sold without a lampshade, allowing you to select the shade that best complements your interior décor and personal style.
The electrical wiring has been professionally inspected and is fully functional. The lamp is fitted with an E14 socket, and a plug adapter will be included to ensure compatibility with your country's electrical outlets.
The lamp remains in good vintage condition. The rope shows areas of natural fading consistent with age and decades of use, adding to the authentic patina and character of the piece.
