Description from the seller
An iconic Memphis style postmodern design lamp from the 1980s
No Reserve – in excellent/ near mint condition
This large sculptural lamp exemplifies the Memphis movement’s playful geometry and radical approach to everyday objects. The bold contrast of the white lacquered disc, the black structural arms, and the triangular plexiglass prism create a striking architectural presence whether mounted on the wall or ceiling.
Materials: lacquered metal, black painted steel, plexiglass
Dimensions: width 59 cm, Ø white disc 32 cm, depth approx. 34 cm
Condition: in perfect state, no discoloration, scratches or damage
Includes bulb – directly ready for use
Provenance: private collection.
A true collector’s piece of Italian design history, representing the pinnacle of the Memphis aesthetic.
Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
This lamp is a textbook example of the Memphis design philosophy: functional yet highly sculptural, merging architecture, art, and design into a single radical object.
A museum-worthy eye-catcher for your home or office.
