Counterbalance Lamp

Elegant table lamp designed by the Swiss-born American, more eminently known for his architectural work that helped birth modernism in America. His design here is a neat encompassing of the intelligent, often ingeniously experimental nature of production he sought — the sleek form of the lamp cut sharper by a removal of the base, and relying instead on a spherical metal counterbalance slung under the resting surface to remain upright. Nickel Silver over brass, single socket, paper shade
