About the Item

This individualistic table lamp is a Brutalist piece from the 1960s with a characteristic design that is sure to stand out. The style is similar to that of Franz West with wrought iron chain links constituting the body. From architectural descriptions to individual pieces of furniture, materials, and colour palettes, brutalist style seems to have earned a permanent spot on the décor trend list. There is a deliberate plainness, crudity, and transparency to pieces in this style that can often be interpreted as austere, however, the style’s charm also lies in these characteristics. It emerged in the mid-20th century and gained popularity in the late 1950s and 1960s and shared the anti ornamentation side of mid-century modernism. This table lamp is made with welded chain links in a stark black colour resulting in an eye-catching look, especially thanks to the sharp contrast the light fabric lampshade provides. The design is an interesting unification of Brutalism and mid-century modernism where the two styles create tension that is at the core of the appeal of this lamp. The textured fabric of the lampshade complements the black metal body and tames the design to make it fit practically any interior style. The lamp is supported by a curved base that provides further visual interest. Brutalism then, as it is now, remains one of the most polarizing - and fascinating - design movements in history, and it seems here to stay in some form or another. Today, we're seeing brutalist furniture emerge through statement pieces, such as this table lamp, that can blend into a variety of design styles. Condition: In good vintage condition.
