Each lamp features a columnar base crafted from solid Lucite, tapering upward in a form reminiscent of classical Greek columns while resting on tiered square plinths. The crystal-clear material captures and refracts light, giving the pieces a luminous, sculptural quality. Chrome-plated double socket fittings with pull chains complete the design, striking a balance between modern functionality and decorative appeal.


Context and Legacy
The lamps embody the influence of Karl Springer, the celebrated designer renowned for his luxurious reinterpretations of classic forms, crafted from innovative materials such as Lucite, parchment, and exotic woods. Their neoclassical silhouette, combined with a distinctly modern medium, exemplifies the glamour and eclecticism of the 1970s, a period when designers sought to merge historical references with futuristic materials.

Collector’s Note
These Lucite table lamps offer both sculptural presence and versatility, making them suited for interiors ranging from Hollywood Regency to contemporary minimalist styles. Minor wear consistent with age enhances their authenticity without detracting from their visual impact. See less
