A unique piece, handcrafted in worked and patinated copper, with a distinctly Brutalist character and a strong organic inspiration.
The openwork stem features twisted and dynamic lines with a hammered surface, rising from a fluidly developed base that evokes plant or root-like forms. The treatment of the material emphasizes texture and movement, lending the piece a powerful sculptural presence.
The truncated pyramidal shade, also made of copper, displays a rich polychrome patina in reddish, ochre, and green tones, the result of controlled oxidation processes that provide chromatic depth. When lit, it generates a warm and enveloping light that enhances its artistic character.
Although unsigned, the piece exhibits clear stylistic affinities with the work of the French sculptor-designer Olivier Julia. A floor lamp in the same formal language, signed by the artist, is known, reinforcing this attribution. A unique piece, ideal as a focal point in contemporary, wabi-sabi, or brutalist-inspired interiors.
