Description

Michel Armand (1895–1941), attributed to Sculptural lamp Polished bronze Date of creation: c. 1970 H 35 cm This sculptural lamp illustrates the formal experiments carried out during the 1970s exploring the fusion of sculpture and functional objects. Its organic silhouette, comprising 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 the trend in decorative design which, from the late 1960s onwards, explored the boundaries between the decorative arts and contemporary sculpture. Its biomorphic aesthetic bears witness to the enduring influence of the organic approaches developed in post-war international design. Attributed to Michel Armand, this work is a remarkable example of a sculptural light fitting in which function takes a back seat to genuine artistic exploration.
