Important brutalist / Africanist lamp in wood – 1950s-1960s

Rare and sculptural table lamp dating from the 1950s-1960s, emblematic of the brutalist aesthetic tinged with Africanist influences that characterises post-war decorative design. Entirely made of solid wood, this lamp stands out with its slender shaft powerfully rhythmised by horizontal grooves, giving the whole piece an organic and architectural presence. The subtly curved central body evokes a totemic, almost primitive form, accentuating its sculptural character. The dark, deep, and nuanced patina reveals signs of wear in places, attesting to its authenticity and history. The simple, solid circular base ensures perfect stability and reinforces the visual balance of the piece. The woodwork, deliberately raw yet controlled, fully embodies the brutalist spirit while engaging with an Africanist sensitivity highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of 20th-century design. A strong decorative piece, ideal for enhancing a contemporary, wabi-sabi, or modernist interior, serving both as an ambient lamp and a true luminous sculpture. Dimensions: Height: 75 cm. Diameter: 16 cm. In good original condition, with an aged patina and slight signs of wear consistent with the object's age.
