Few lighting pieces possess the commanding presence of this monumental Chi Wara style floor lamp. I love it for the versatility: it can stand quietly in a corner or serve as a dramatic focal point.
Hand-carved in dark patinated wood, the antelope form rises with sweeping horns, and beautifully textured geometric decoration inspired by the sculptures of the Bambara people of Mali.

This is more than a lamp. The piece reads as sculpture with its elongated silhouette. A generous raffia skirt softens the piece and adds organic texture. ]
The design possibilities are endless, as the lamp could find its place in a library, a foyer, above a staircase or in a living area.
The wood displays an attractive, naturally aged patina with subtle tonal variation that enhances the hand-carved detail. The woven shade shows gentle age-appropriate wear consistent with its vintage character, adding authenticity without distracting from the overall presentation.

An exceptional decorative statement for collectors who appreciate sculptural lighting, global design, and interiors with character. See less
