Discover the Iconic “La Lune Sous Le Chapeau” Table Lamp
New‑Old‑Stock, 1980s, Sirrah Italy — Designed by Man Ray
Illuminate Your Space with Surrealist Elegance
Step into a world where art and function fuse seamlessly. The “La Lune Sous Le Chapeau” (“Moon Under the Hat”) table lamp is a rare, new‑old‑stock treasure from the 1980s, exquisitely crafted by Sirrah Italy under license from the estate of the great avant‑garde artist Man Ray. Its sculptural silhouette—an ethereal, folded lampshade gently hovering above a slender, graphite‑grey stem—casts a soft, lunar glow that transforms any tabletop into a stage for dreams and conversation.
Why Collectors and Connoisseurs Adore It
Artist‑Designed Statement Piece: Conceived by Man Ray (1890–1976), a pioneering figure of Dada and Surrealism, this lamp is more than illumination—it’s a wearable moment of 20th‑century art history.
Rare New‑Old‑Stock Condition: Unused and impeccably preserved in its original packaging since the 1980s, this lamp offers a pristine canvas for both display and everyday use.
Timeless Craftsmanship: Produced by Sirrah Italia, known for marrying Italian industrial know‑how with cutting‑edge design, the lamp boasts a durable steel base, precision‑folded parchment‑like shade, and a discreet rotary switch—ensuring both aesthetic purity and lasting functionality.
Subtle yet Striking: The soft grey palette integrates with minimalist, modern, or eclectic interiors, while its organic form becomes an instant focal point, inviting curiosity and delight.
A Glimpse into Man Ray’s Vision
Born Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, Man Ray rose to fame in Paris’s avant‑garde circles of the 1920s, collaborating with luminaries such as Marcel Duchamp. A master photographer and innovator of “rayographs,” he challenged conventions across painting, film, and everyday objects—transforming the mundane into the magical. His design of the “La Lune Sous Le Chapeau” lamp reflects Surrealism’s playful spirit: the shade’s conical fold evokes a mysterious hat concealing a glowing moon, an homage to the poetic absurdity that defined his work.
Perfect For:
Design Aficionados seeking a conversation‑starting accent piece.
Art Collectors who prize authentic, limited‑run designs by Surrealist masters.
Interior Stylists looking to infuse rooms with sculptural lighting that marries form and fantasy.
