Sculptural vintage ceramic lamp from the 1960s–70s in a fat-lava style, with warm light and decorative openings. A characterful design object with a strong presence.
This striking vintage lamp is a powerful statement piece with a distinctive ceramic design, inspired by the fat-lava aesthetic of the 1960s–70s.
The heavily detailed base is crafted from ceramic with a rich relief and a distinctive, grainy glaze in warm, earthy tones. The round openings in the base create a particularly atmospheric lighting effect, with the light also subtly diffused from below.
Thanks to its sculptural appearance, this lamp is not only functional but also a decorative object in its own right—perfect for a mid-century, eclectic, or warm modern interior.
The lamp is paired with an elegant textile lampshade with a graphic stripe pattern and delicate gold finish, creating a beautiful contrast between the raw ceramic and the refined finish.
The light at the bottom of the base and the lamp itself can be switched on and off separately.
