This Brutalist table lamp features a beautiful brass abstract form that stands on a rosewood veneer base.

A striking example of American modernist lighting design, this sculptural table lamp by Richard Barr for Laurel Lamp Company embodies the sophisticated artistry and organic form language that defined the late 1960s and early 1970s. The lamp features an abstract polished brass form with dramatic folded lines and fluid contours, mounted atop a richly grained rosewood base. Its elegant interplay of warm brass and natural wood creates a bold yet refined silhouette that functions equally as lighting and sculpture.

Barr’s work for Laurel is celebrated for pushing lighting into the realm of functional art, and this example perfectly captures that vision with its expressive geometric presence and architectural balance. The elongated sculptural body draws the eye upward, while the substantial rosewood base grounds the composition with warmth and stability.

A standout accent for mid-century modern, Hollywood Regency, or contemporary interiors, this lamp makes a powerful statement on a console, credenza, or side table.

Measures: 36" high to finial, 42.25" high to top of the shade, with a base width and depth of 5". The shade measures 18" high with a diameter of 16". See less
