About the Item

Pierre Giroudon (French, b. 1923) Lucite Table Lamp with Encapsulated Dandelion Seed Head, c. 1970 Striking modernist table lamp designed by Pierre Giroudon, featuring a rectangular block of transparent blue and clear cast Lucite enclosing a delicate dandelion seed head (Taraxacum) preserved within the acrylic. The botanical specimen appears suspended in space, creating a dramatic floating effect that is enhanced by the vivid cobalt-blue ground and crystal-clear upper section. Mounted with a polished metal standard and surmounted by a cylindrical cream fabric shade. Combining organic natural forms with innovative synthetic materials, this lamp exemplifies the fascination with nature, transparency, and new plastics that characterized French decorative arts of the late 1960s and 1970s. Giroudon became particularly known for his sculptural resin lighting and decorative objects incorporating flowers, grasses, butterflies, and other natural specimens encapsulated within Lucite, creating works that blur the boundaries between functional design and sculpture. A highly decorative and iconic example of French Space Age design. Dimensions Base: 6 x 3 x 10 in. (15.2 x 7.6 x 25.4 cm) Shade diameter: 12.5 in. (31.8 cm) Overall height: 24 in. (61 cm)
