Hexagonal floor lamp in black melamine and gilded brass, France, circa 1980. A faceted black column gives the lamp a strict vertical profile, finished by a shallow gilded brass reflector. Decorative lighting around 1980 often gave functional objects a more assertive role through silhouette, surface and reflection. Here, the hexagonal body creates a dark, faceted volume, while the gilded brass reflector gathers the upward light into a warmer plane above. The lamp carries the period’s taste for strong geometry in a tall, self-contained form, where black surface and brass reflection give the object its presence.
