Artiste Lamp Table

Description

Artiste Lamp Table was inspired by furnishings of the Art Deco period. Art Deco is an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France just before World War I, and began flourishing internationally from the 1920s thru the 40s. It took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors and bold geometric shapes. The Art Deco movement flourished during the interwar years when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes was an embrace of technology. It has been defined as an assertively modern style that emphasizes symmetry rather than asymmetry, and the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

The Artiste Lamp Table is offered with multiple top options including glass, copper, and brass. Its eight metal legs have a beautiful texture on them as though they were sculpted by an artist. The famous Giacometti brothers who are known for their sculptures used such organic surface texture on their creations. The metal legs and plinth are made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold which can be used only once. Robust metal construction allows this table base to support a heavy top without flexing. The Artiste Lamp Table was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD. The base is offered in a variety of finishes. Custom sizing is available.
