The base of this wonderful table lamp is composed of polished curves that flow in and out of bold shapes to create a mesmerizing interplay of positive and negative space. The oval shade adds sophistication and a strong, matte black cap to balance the piece. This unique lamp combines a mid-century sensibility with a hint futurism, making it ideal with vintage and contemporary décor alike; it's especially impressive alongside furnishings with simple shapes or strong colors.
