Richard Barr for Laurel Lamp Co. Brutalist Vintage Mid Century Modern XL Table Lamp c. 1960s

This vintage mid-century modern Brutalist table lamp, model H-940 by Richard Barr for Laurel Lamp Company, showcases the distinctive and architectural design style of the 1960s.

Resting on a stark black base, the lamp's metallic sculpture stacks geometric forms in a calculated manner, creating a play of light and shadow that is both striking and harmoniously balanced. This design not only reflects the era's embrace of new and bold forms but also its appreciation for the interplay between art and functionality.

Completing the piece is the option to pair it with the rare original vintage lampshade, which casts a warm, ambient glow, softening the lamp's strong presence. Ideal as a focal point for a living room or study, this lamp by Laurel Lamp Company is a functional piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past while providing timeless elegance and illumination.
