Lamp in the style of Marc du Plantier

Table lamp in the manner of MARC DU PLANTIER (Madagascar, 1901-France, 1975), ca. 1940-1950.
Wrought iron and parchment shade.
Frame in very good condition with original patina. Lampshade with wear, losses and aging typical of use and the passage of time (see photographs).
Measurements: 95 x 42 x 22 cm.

Table lamp of marked sculptural presence made of wrought iron with quadrangular base and truncated pyramidal shaft, worked with visible hammering and original dark patina. The structure is evidence of brutalist craftsmanship, with a sober and architectural formal language.

Rectangular screen composed of translucent parchment panels manually sewn by means of exposed cord, generating an interesting textile and volumetric effect. The light, passing through the parchment, produces a warm and diffuse illumination that contrasts with the forcefulness of the iron.

The ensemble clearly refers to the vocabulary of mid-20th century French design, in the orbit of Marc du Plantier, Jean-Michel Frank and Diego Giacometti.
