AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and rare vintage table lamp designed by the French glass artist Sylvie Montagnon for Parallèle Espace Lumière (France, circa 1980).
This is a 'Piece Unique' (unique handmade piece), equipped with the original sticker on the underside ("Pièce unique signée - Sylvie Montagnon - FRANCE") and the brand sticker on the socket ("PARALLELE ESPACE MODE").
The imposing globular base is handcrafted with layered pigments, oxides and gold dust in organic tones of emerald green, ocean blue, amber and warm gold. The result is a fascinating, landscape-like depth effect that lights up beautifully when the lamp is switched on.
