Mid-century "Dora" rock lamp by André Cazenave for Singleton, Italy, 1960s

This Dora model rock lamp was designed by French creator André Cazenave and produced in Italy by Singleton during the 1960s, within the Organic Modern and Mid-Century Modern movements. The sculptural body is made of fibreglass and polyester resin coated with a granular layer of natural stone and marble powder. When switched off, its matte and rough surface reproduces the irregular grain and neutral sand-grey tone of a natural rock. When lit, the translucent structure filters light through the mineral coating and projects a warm ambient glow with soft variations in intensity according to the relief of its faces. Designed with an organic and asymmetrical profile resting on a flat base, the Dora model is one of the compact formats in Cazenave's luminous stone series. With a height of 16 cm and a base of 35 by 30 cm, its low scale allows it to be placed directly on the floor—alone or grouped—or on a sideboard, console, or low shelf in a living room, bedroom, or interior design project. Original 1960s pieces edited by Singleton attract the interest of 20th-century European lighting collectors and professionals seeking sculptural ambient lighting pieces from the era.
