A manifesto of humour and audacity, the "Haltère" (or Bicep) wall light was created by French designer Jean-Claude Peiré in the early 1980s. Perfectly resonating with the irreverent spirit of the Postmodern movement and Memphis style, this sculptural light fixture breaks away from traditional design by transforming the human body into a pop and functional object. Shaped in intensely glossy black glazed ceramic, this piece depicts a muscular arm lifting a globe bulb as if it were a weight. More than just a light source, it is a true work of wall art, graphic and offbeat, which has today become a highly sought-after collector's item among vintage design enthusiasts. Electric wire to be connected to your wall outlet, depending on a switch. I can also leave you the original pull cord... but I’m not sure if it’s still functional. It’s more practical to just press a switch 🤞🤗 Fast and careful shipping 🎁🤗.
