An arresting sculptural floor lamp in the form of a standing female figure, hand-built in plaster over a steel armature, then bronzed and patinated to achieve the depth and character of aged metal.
The figure stands poised and self-possessed, one hand steadying the slender stem as if holding aloft the light itself. Up close, the artist’s hand remains visible: layered plaster creates a tactile, irregular surface, its bronzed finish flecked with green and deep umber tones that convincingly echo time-worn bronze. The result is theatrical yet grounded — sculpture first, lighting second.
The figure’s elongated stillness and heavily worked surface recall the language of post-war European sculpture — a distant kinship with Giacometti’s solitary figures, though here softened and more domestic in spirit. Rather than existential isolation, this piece feels companionable: a quiet presence holding the light within everyday living.
The generous woven shade tempers the composition, casting a warm pool of light while allowing the figure’s silhouette to remain central. It sits beautifully beside a reading chair, in a corner that needs height and presence, or as sculptural punctuation within a calmer interior scheme.
A piece carrying the mood of mid-century studio sculpture — intimate, human, quietly dramatic — bringing both light and narrative into a space.
