Abalone Task Lamp in Coiled Brown Leather with Natural Seashell Shade — Model No. 026

Introducing the Green Abalone Task Lamp in Coiled Brown Leather, the latest release from the Venus Collection, a whimsical family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features table lamps, floor lamps, and sconces made with hand-selected vintage specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, putting the organic source material behind so much 20^th century modernism front and center.

The ruggedly handsome Model No. 026 is a double-jointed riff on that 20^th century workaday staple—the humble desktop task lamp. At 18” tall, it is slightly larger than traditional models, ensuring even illumination over any work surface. It consists of a natural cast-concrete base and hand-dyed brown-leather-wrapped column topped by a cantilevered shade crafted from a sustainably sourced, barnacle-flecked green Abalone seashell with a blue-and-green-hued mother-of-pearl interior.

Fully adjustable swivels at the top and bottom of the column allow for fine-tuning of the shade angle and overall silhouette. Unfinished brass hardware, a khaki cloth-covered cord, 1940s-style plug, and contrasting inline switch complete the refined profile of this hard-working, all-natural beauty.   

Made-to-order by hand in a numbered, signed edition by artist Christopher Tennant.
