Swirling Globe Table Lamp

Description

The Swirling Globe Table Lamp evokes an Art Deco feeling. 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. This eclectic style 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. Constructed of hand-carved wood and metal, The Swirling Globe Table Lamp is offered in a variety of finishes and accents. Its stepped base enhances its Art Deco appeal. The hand-made black fabric shade is also available in other colors. Custom sizing is available. Designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD.
