Alberto Giacometti — Lampe Flambeau, petit modèle
Alberto Giacometti

Lampe Flambeau, petit modèle

"Lampe Flambeau, petit modèle" is a bronze table lamp by Alberto Giacometti featuring his characteristic elongated, skeletal forms rendered in patinated bronze with an accompanying fabric shade. Created during the mid twentieth century, the work exemplifies Giacometti's distinctive approach to functional design, transforming a utilitarian object into a sculptural statement that reflects his modernist sensibility. The combination of the austere bronze base and soft textile element creates a striking contrast between the spare, abstract form and the practical purpose of illumination.

Medium
bronze patiné et abat-jour en tissu
