"Floor Lamp By Louis Sognot 1960"
A bamboo and woven rattan floor lamp designed by Louis Sognot (1892-1970), France, 1960s. Six bamboo poles work as external scaffolding for the off-white, linen lampshade. The lampshade is suspended by subtle stitched cotton loops between two woven rattan rings. This wooden ‘exoskeleton’ ensures that all materials are on display and equally appreciated, whilst also conveying a harmony between the unrefined texture of the bamboo and the fabric. Louis Sognot worked on many projects together with Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier. He was also founder of the 'Salon du meuble Paris'.
