c. 1980s; Jim Bindman for Rainbow Lamp Company - Glendale, CA
Sculptural copper torchiere floor lamp designed by Jim Bindman for Rainbow Lamp Company. Inspired by 17th-century floor candelabras and standing torches, the design reinterprets those historical forms through a restrained modernist vocabulary. Slender copper tubes rise from a stepped circular base to support a broad, dramatically flared copper reflector shade with a white-painted interior.
The shade contains a central ceramic socket with two horizontally opposed bulbs, directing light upward across the reflective bowl to create a warm, ambient glow. Its tall proportions, exposed tubular construction, copper surfaces, and simplified geometry give the lamp a striking architectural presence.
Rainbow Lamp Company produced sculptural modern and postmodern lighting during the late 20th century, with its torchiere designs appearing in period architectural-lighting publications by the late 1980s.
