Michel Armand, attributed to Sculptural lamp Polished bronze Date of creation: circa 1970 H35 cm This sculptural lamp exemplifies the formal experiments conducted during the 1970s that explored the fusion of sculpture and functional objects. Its organic silhouette, composed of an ovoid volume traversed by an ascending helical movement, evokes both natural growth and the fluid forms characteristic of the design of that period. The mirror-polished bronze surface captures and transforms the surrounding light, reinforcing the work’s dynamic character. The light source, concealed at the heart of the structure, plays a key role in highlighting the form and lends the piece an almost sculptural presence. With its sensual design and the quality of its craftsmanship, this lamp is part of a movement in decorative design that, beginning in the late 1960s, explored the boundaries between the decorative arts and contemporary sculpture. Its biomorphic aesthetic reflects the enduring influence of the organic approaches developed in postwar international design. Attributed to Michel Armand, this work is a remarkable example of a sculptural lamp in which function takes a back seat to a genuine exploration of form.
