Bamboo and rattan table lamp with woven shade, 1950s

Mid-century handcrafted table lamp made of bamboo and rattan, from the 1950s. The piece is structured on a robust central cylindrical bamboo cane body that unfolds into a three-legged base, firmly stabilized by a rattan cord. The woven conical shade rests with its own weight on its own wooden support anchored to the central body, creating a beautiful mechanical and visual balance. A piece of great visual power that contrasts the architectural firmness of the bamboo base with the warm, openwork texture of the dome, shaping this handcrafted work of pleasant organic and natural design.
