Product description
Table Lamp - André Ricard for Metalarte Spain - 1970 Signed, the lamp has an attribution mark This remarkable piece, an icon of Mid - Century design, was conceived by André Ricard for Metalarte in the 1960s. Crafted with meticulous attention to every detail, the structure consists of an elegant chrome-plated tubular frame on which an opaline white plastic ball pivots at its center. The unique design of the ball, divided into two halves, one with an opaque interior, creates a captivating lighting effect where one part appears illuminated while the other remains in shadow. Versatile in its application, this lamp can be hung on the wall, or used as a wall light. It is in excellent original condition, with slight wear in keeping with its age and use, nothing really noteworthy. The Metalarte signature is in the black plastic of the arms. - Description: Table lamp - Floor lamp - Designer: André Ricard - Publisher: Metalarte - Materials: Chromed steel - Plastic - Period: 1970-1979 - Origin: Spain - Condition: Very good, slight wear consistent with use - Dimensions: 35 cm x 35 cm x 35 cm - Lampholder: E27 André Ricard: Catalan designer, born in Barcelona in 1929.
