About the Item

Stunning mid-century American Indian tent-shaped table or floor lamp in bamboo and rattan. This wonderful big lamp was made in Italy during the 1960s in the style of Louis Sognot. The outer structure is made up of four bamboo and rattan bamboo stems that shapes a beige cotton shade that shrinks on the top in the centre. The effect of this shape on the diffusion of light is just breathtaking. This item is perfect for a mid-century ethnic or tiki living room or bedroom or French Riviera porch. This item is wired for E27 light bulbs. Louis Sognot was a French designer best known for his elegant furniture made from a combination of rattan and wood. Sognot was influenced by Art Deco and Cubist aesthetics, giving his work a unique stylistic flair while also being usable. Born on May 25, 1892 in Paris, France, Sognot studied at the École Bernard-Pablissy before working as a designer at the Au Printemps department store in Paris in 1919. The designer went on to become a founding member of the Union des Artistes Decoroteurs. He died in 1970 in Paris, France. ---Dimensions--- Width: 15 in / 38.1 cm Depth: 15 in / 38.1 cm Height: 60 in / 152.4 cm This iconic floor lamp is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! The mix of cotton and burlap fabric that encapsulates the light socket is in overall very good shape showing only light fading in localized areas but showing no stains, rips or odors whatsoever. The bamboo frame is in remarkably good condition given it's age showing no breaks, deep scratches or stains whatsoever. The standard E27 Socket functions as does the switch as seen in the demonstration video provided. This artfully-designed and crafted floor lamp is functional, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video provided for details on this splendid lamp's current condition.
