Wood, iron and bronze.
Very good state of preservation.
Measurements: 187 cm (height); 72 cm (diameter of the foot).

Lamp foot with coat rack function. It dates from the decade of the seventies and embodies the brutalist aesthetic manifested in the combination of materials (wrought iron, bronze and wood) that, far from hiding its nature, celebrate its authenticity. The central shaft, of remarkable height, presents a rhythmic alternation of wooden elements, arranged in a helical configuration, and iron strips that ascend in a spiral, evoking a dynamism inherent to the solidity of the whole. In its upper section, it includes small hangers. At mid-height, it integrates a circular wooden table. The base, firmly seated, is configured from wrought iron scrolls that contrast with the severity of the style, providing an organic counterpoint to the dominant linearity.
