Set of lamps by Nicolas Dewael for Fondica.

Set of lamps by designer Nicolas Dewael for Fondica. What makes these lamps unique is an approach of "Light Sculptor." Nicolas Dewael collaborated with Fondica, a French Art foundry (at the time based near Paris) renowned for its bronze and tin alloy pieces. The pieces were cast, which explains the "hammered" or organic texture. Fondica pieces are highly sought after by decorators and collectors. This trio is rare, the pinnacle of French chic from the 2000s. A slight neo-baroque touch that does not age. Fine execution, organic texture of the bases, and delicate assembly of the enamelled discs. Nicolas Dewael is a designer who holds a special place in the landscape of French design from the 90s/2000s. Dewael is fascinated by the organic. True light sculptures that are as beautiful when off as they are when lit. Interior jewels. The lampshade of the small lamp is a bit damaged. The base of the floor lamp is slightly oxidised... which proves authenticity and history. A very beautiful set, extremely rare.
