Vintage Floor Lamp
Quality:
Good - visible, slight wear, commensurate with age
A vintage Fat Lava floor lamp in the manner of Richard Essig is a striking example of mid-century modern design.
Embodying the bold aesthetics and innovative craftsmanship of the era. Renowned for its distinctive ceramic structure, this floor lamp features the characteristic “fat lava” glaze technique, which creates a rich, textured surface that is both visually captivating and tactilely engaging.
The lamp’s base showcases an intricate interplay of shapes and forms, with organic, flowing lines that evoke the dynamic nature of molten lava. The glaze, typically in earthy tones such as deep reds, browns, and oranges, adds depth and dimension, enhancing the lamp’s sculptural quality. This unique finish not only highlights the artistry involved in its creation but also makes each piece one-of-a-kind. The lampshade, often made from high-quality fabric, complements the lamp’s overall aesthetic while providing a soft, diffused light that adds warmth and ambiance to any room. Its generous size ensures that the lamp makes a statement, whether placed in a cozy living room corner or as a focal point in a more spacious setting. 1960's, Germany.
