Unique 1960s Sculptural Ceramic Table Lamp with Custom Shade
Vintage Objects1960s Sculptural Ceramic Table Lamp with Custom Shade
Striking and architectural, this handcrafted ceramic table lamp from the 1960s showcases bold mid-century modern form with a distinct sculptural presence. Composed of stacked geometric blocks in subtly tapering proportions, the base features layered ceramic cubes glazed in earthy tones ranging from ochre and rust to celadon green. The textured surface and organic firing effects evoke the expressive quality of studio pottery from the period.
Crowned with a custom-made square shade in deep indigo raw silk, this piece blends brutalist structure with refined materials — a rare fusion of form and warmth. The design calls to mind the works of Bruno Gambone, Stan Bitters, or André Borderie, while standing firmly as a unique example of European ceramic artistry from the era.
A showpiece lamp that brings dimension and soul to interiors ranging from minimalist to bohemian to collector-curated.
