“A handcrafted steel table lamp inspired by a corset. Features copper lacing, a heat-tinted exterior, and a warm, polished interior glow.”
This sculptural table lamp merges the hard edge of industrial metalwork with the classic, hourglass silhouette of haute couture. Modeled on the form of a corset, the steel body is hand-shaped to suggest fabric under tension, complete with delicate copper-wire "lacing" running down the front.
The piece relies on a strong contrast between the exterior and interior surfaces. The outside features a dark, heat-treated patina that gives the steel a rich, gunmetal finish, while the interior is polished to a warm, golden sheen. When illuminated by the vintage-style filament bulb, this inner surface acts as a reflector, casting a soft, intimate glow that spills out through the open, ribbon-like curves of the form. Standing on a minimalist tripod base, the lamp serves as both a source of light and a dramatic, standalone art object.
