Introducing a true American Modern masterpiece: a rare postmodern free-standing floor lamp designed by the renowned Robert Sonneman for George Kovacs in 1990. Constructed from hand-welded twisted steel frame this exceptional lamp features a splayed 6-leg base that resembles the form of a spider. The intentional patina adds character and presents an altogether artful, yet rustic piece that captures the attention of all who lay eyes on it. The intentionally patinaed glass lampshade too gives this lamp a truly moody aura that is beautifully contrasted by the halogen light within and casts a splendid, expanding pyramid of light against a wall.
For six decades Robert Sonneman, founder of the eponymous world-renowned lighting design studio based in New York City, pioneered modern lighting. He revolutionized the way we illuminate residential and commercial spaces and his minimalist modern designs have pushed the boundaries of illumination within architectural and residential environments alike.
George Kovacs is perhaps the most famous and accomplished Modern lighting designer. A designer, manufacturer and importer of innovative and stylish modern lighting fixtures who introduced the ubiquitous halogen torchiere to the United States Mr. Kovacs not only made popular table lamps, floor lamps, hanging pendants and wall sconces, he also marketed the products of other acclaimed designers, including Ingo Maurer, Harry Allen, Karim Rashid, Robert Sonneman and Alecia Wesner.
This ultra rare floor lamp is as visually captivating as it is functional, and represents the epitome of postmodern Design making it ideal for both designers and collectors alike. Make it yours today and transform the lighting experience in your space tomorrow.
