Gerald Thurston in the Style Of. A Mid-Century Tripod Polished Steel Table Lamp
£850
This Mid-Century polished steel tripod table lamp follows the style of Gerald Thurston and was produced around 1970. The lamp typifies post-war modernist lighting with its use of reflective materials and minimalist sculptural form. The tripod base in polished steel gives the piece both lightness and balance, contrasting with the warm tone of the lemon-coloured stitched shade.
Thurston’s influence on American lighting design during the 1950s and 1960s established a vocabulary of functional elegance that carried into later interpretations such as this. The lamp expresses that same clarity of proportion and material simplicity which linked American and European Mid-Century Modern aesthetics.
