John Bolt

Dear Bidders,
Thank you for your interest in my offer.

I'm offering here a striking sculptural table lamp featuring a bold red lacquered metal body supported by three elegant chrome legs and a large perforated metal disc shade. 
The minimalist structure combined with playful geometry creates a distinctive futuristic look typical of postmodern design of the late 20th century.

The perforated circular shade diffuses the light softly and produces a subtle decorative effect, while the dynamic composition of materials — lacquered metal and chrome — emphasizes the lamp’s sculptural character.

The design clearly reflects the spirit of the Memphis movement and is reminiscent of works associated with designers such as Ettore Sottsass and Michele De Lucchi, as well as experimental lighting produced by brands like Memphis Milano, Artemide, Flos, Stilnovo or Cossack during the 1980s.

A highly decorative and collectible design object that functions both as lighting and as a small sculptural statement piece. Perfect for interiors inspired by postmodern, Memphis or space-age aesthetics.
