1980s Postmodern “Bankers” Desk Lamp by Robert Sonneman for George Kovacs – Memphis Style
Designed by Robert Sonneman for George Kovacs in the 1980s, this striking desk lamp is a standout example of postmodern design with clear influences from the Memphis Group’s bold architectural aesthetic. Often referred to as a “Bankers” lamp, this sculptural piece reimagines a traditional form with contemporary flair.
Crafted from a sophisticated mix of black lacquered metal, brass, chrome-plated elements, and perforated metal mesh, the design is topped with a thick glass diffuser that softens the light while highlighting the lamp’s geometric interplay. An integrated on/off switch is located on the base for ease of use, and the lamp uses a halogen bulb (included).
Perfect for collectors of Memphis design, postmodern decor, or rare 1980s lighting, this piece adds artistic edge and vintage sophistication to any office, study, or statement-making interior.
