Bertrand Balas “Spouting Fountain” Floor Lamp – 1970s

Spectacular arc floor lamp designed by Bertrand Balas in the 1970s, known as the "Fontaine Jaillissante". This iconic piece of French design combines sculptural balance with luminous functionality. Its large shade composed of two brushed aluminum half-spheres diffuses both direct and indirect light, creating a warm and graphic atmosphere. The whole rests on an imposing cubic base in veined white marble, which ensures stability and elegance. The segmented metal arc brings flexibility and lightness to the silhouette, contrasting with the mineral density of the base. With its generous proportions, this floor lamp becomes a real focal point in a living room or reception area, reminiscent of the space age and brutalist aesthetics of the 1970s. A rare piece sought after by vintage design collectors. Condition: good. Note some dents in the metal, consistent with age, without major alteration. Dimensions (approx.): height 210 cm - width 180 cm - base 30 X 30 cm.
