Lion's Paw Lamp

Description

Introducing the Lion’s Paw Table Lamp, the first release from Tennant NY's Fall 2023 Venus Collection, a whimsical new family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and the natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features table lamps and wall sconces made with hand-selected specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, putting the organic source material behind so much 20^th century modernism front and center.

Despite its passing resemblance to Audrey II, Model No. 019 requires no care or feeding. Centered on a terra cotta-tinted cast-concrete base, with an unfinished brass column, knurled brass hardware, and olive cloth-covered cord with contrasting khaki inline switch, its shade is constructed from a matching pair of sustainably sourced, naturally translucent Lion’s Paw scallop shells.

Permanently fused open at the scallop's natural hinge, the shade is fully adjustable on the vertical axis. Perfect as a scene-stealing accent lamp—and even better at one's bedside, in a pair—its playful silhouette, sophisticated lines, rarefied materials, and inviting light will breathe fresh life into any interior.

Made-to-order by hand in a numbered, signed edition by artist Christopher Tennant.
