A pair of hand-forged iron lamps with perforated conical shades, their patinated surfaces casting intricate, patterned light. Likely late-20th-century studio craft, they exemplify the raw elegance and tactile refinement of postwar handmade design. Perfect in every detail, they capture the essence of the genre and reflect the inventive spirit of movements such as the Creative Salvage Group, from which they emerged.
In 1980s Britain, designers like Tom Dixon, Ron Arad, and the Creative Salvage Group transformed raw steel and perforated metal into striking, hand-welded furniture and lighting. Their work celebrated exposed welds, industrial materials, and geometric forms, combining a high-tech sensibility with the tactile, artisanal quality of studio craft—an audacious yet refined expression of the era’s inventive spirit.
