Tall Lamp by Stewart Ross James for Hanson

Creator: Stewart Ross James
Offered by: Good Design

Description
The shape of this lamp harks back to Christian Dior's enormously influential 1947 Spring Collection, "The New Look". In exagerating the female form the collection is widely seen as a symbol of modernism by generations of designers and artists. The basic forms of home and workplace were transformed by attention to that collection and what it achieved. For a very interesting discussion of that phenomenon you might want find a book called The New Look Design in the Fifties by Lesley Jackson. an interesting read it is an analysis of design in the 1950's. This lamp was purchased directly from a Park Avenue Estate. It is re-wired but otherwise completely original including the shade.
