The design exemplifies a bold, sculptural language rooted in postwar modernism, characterized by precise geometry, fine craftsmanship, and expressive material use. Crafted in solid wood and finished in a deep, matte stain, the lamp’s form is defined by its bold architectural silhouette. A circular cut-out intersects a tilted rectangular plane, which is grounded by a cylindrical base—together forming a minimalist composition that evokes brutalist and constructivist influences. The large cylindrical shade is covered in a warm natural woven textile, providing a beautiful textural contrast to the sleek dark base. When lit, the lamp diffuses a soft, ambient glow that accentuates the interplay between form and function. The textile shade is original and remains in good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. Fitted with a standard e27 socket, the lamp is in full working order and accommodates both led and incandescent bulbs. It comes wired with an eu plug; rewiring is recommended for use outside the eu to meet local electrical standards. This rare piece is more than a lighting solution—it’s a sculptural accent and conversation piece for design collectors or interiors with a strong architectural or modernist sensibility.
