Description
Impactful and rare pair of sculptural plaster table lamps by S+Mind, signed and dated 1987 and hand made in Denmark.
(The color is solid and consistent but appears slightly mottled in these photos due to the filtered light.)
The bodies take the form of classical amphora vessels, rendered in a matte creamy-white ceramic with intentional surface variation, subtle pitting, and horizontal banding that emphasizes their architectural silhouette.
The integrated handles and generously scaled proportions give these lamps a strong Mediterranean and Neoclassical presence, while the minimalist monochrome finish keeps them firmly in the realm of sophisticated late-20th-century European design.
These are statement lamps"”substantial, sculptural, and equally suited to a curated modern interior, a Belgian-style space, or a more traditional setting looking for contrast.
Original brass harps and one original finial included.
