A striking pair of mid-century modern sculptural table lamps designed by Stuart Ross James for Hansen Lighting, New York, circa 1970s. These iconic lamps are celebrated for their bold architectural form and minimalist refinement—a hallmark of Hansen’s modernist design ethos during the mid-to-late 20th century.

Each lamp features a tall, tapered square base that flares outward into a dramatic silhouette, rendered in cast metal with a bronzed finish. The subtly textured surface gives the lamps a sculptural presence while maintaining a sleek matte tone that pairs well with both neutral and bold interior schemes. The form is visually dynamic from every angle, balancing mass with elegance.

Freshly rewired and fitted with new UL-listed sockets, the lamps are fully functional and ready for use. Shades and harps are not included, allowing the buyer to customize the final look to suit their interior.

Stamped beneath with original Hansen felt and appropriate mounting, these lamps represent the confluence of brutalist geometry and refined industrial design that made Stuart Ross James a key figure in postwar American lighting.
