Description
An impressive pair of oversized table lamps featuring spherical globes constructed from layered strands of spun lucite in contrasting light and dark colors, creating an intricate lattice effect. Chrome stems with dark neck sections support cream shades with black trim. The dual-light design illuminates both from above and within the lucite globe, casting dramatic geometric patterns through the woven acrylic strands.
Spun lucite or "spaghetti" lamps emerged during the 1960s and 1970s as part of the Space Age aesthetic, combining new plastic manufacturing techniques with atomic-era design sensibilities. The labor-intensive construction involved wrapping thin lucite strands around spherical forms to create sculptural, light-diffusing elements. The substantial scale and illuminated bases made these statement pieces for modern interiors, reflecting the period's embrace of synthetic materials and bold lighting design.
In vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use, inlcuding minor fabric discoloration and crumbling on seams of the shades.
