MORGAN’S FAVOURITE! Can you believe this was separately sourced? A sculptural icon of 1970s American design, this rare John Dickinson plaster drape lamp transforms an ordinary household material into something entirely unexpected. Cast in plaster to mimic the soft folds and weight of gathered fabric, the lamp captures Dickinson’s signature ability to blur the line between illusion and reality; turning a simple draped textile into a striking work of functional sculpture. The elegantly knotted form appears to spill effortlessly from its pedestal base, creating a sense of movement and tension despite its substantial, architectural presence. Finished with a pleated shade that echoes the lamp’s dramatic silhouette, the piece embodies the whimsical sophistication and surreal glamour that made Dickinson one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century. Both lighting and artwork, it serves as a captivating focal point, equally at home in minimalist interiors, eclectic collections, or richly layered spaces.
Very good vintage condition. One inconspicuous chip as shown in final photo, hard to spot. Original vintage wiring, working.
SHIPPING AVAILABLE, rates will vary- shade won’t ship. Base will ship solo.
