Organic sculpture masquerading as lighting, this vintage Italian table lamp is fashioned from a gnarled olive root, its twisted limbs frozen mid-stride like a creature caught in motion. Every curve and knot tells of age and growth, the wood’s rugged surface alive with texture and patina.
Crowned with a simple hessian shade, the natural drama of the root base takes centre stage—earthly, elemental, and unmistakably Mediterranean. Both functional and fantastical, it’s a piece that carries the warmth of southern Italian craft while echoing the surrealist whimsy of mid-century design.
An evocative lamp that blurs the line between object and artwork—perfect for interiors that prize the unusual.
