A striking example of postmodern design, this table lamp by Michael Graves for Alessi (1988) embodies the designer’s playful yet functional aesthetic. The lamp features a polished chrome conical shade balanced atop a warmly toned wooden stem, which tapers elegantly into a spherical chrome base. The juxtaposition of materials—sleek metal with natural wood—creates a bold yet harmonious contrast, characteristic of Graves’ celebrated design language.
Originally designed in 1988, this piece reflects Graves’ commitment to reimagining everyday objects with architectural precision and sculptural presence. Both a functional light source and a collectible design object, this lamp stands as a timeless example of late 20th-century Italian design.
