Van Schijndel, an influential figure of Dutch Structuralism, approached lighting as architecture in miniature, a philosophy distilled in this tall, faceted silhouette. Formed from planes of ivory-lacquered sheet metal, the lamp rises in a subtle twist, its surfaces shifting in tone as they catch the light. The concealed uplight at the top casts a soft glow upward while allowing a spill of illumination to wash down the open seams, emphasizing the structures geometry. Handmade in limited quantities and standing just over six feet tall, the Slack I has become one of van Schijndels most sought-after designs, celebrated for its purity of form and the way it transforms light through its shifting planes. Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear to the ivory-lacquered metal surfaces, including minor scuffing and faint marks along the edges. Retains the original makers mark. Professionally rewired by our team of restorationists with a new plug and switch. Accepts one halogen light bulb. See less
