Information

This rare table lamp, designed by Boris Lacroix and produced by Disderot in France during the 1950s, is a striking example of mid-century French design. The lamp’s sculptural form reflects Lacroix’s minimalist yet playful approach to design, combining abstract shapes with functional elegance. Constructed from lacquered metal, the lamp is shaped into an abstract dog-like figure with angular legs, lending the piece a dynamic and quirky character.

The lamp’s shade is a key design feature, crafted in a conical shape and finished in a contrasting combination of black and off-white. Small circular perforations are incorporated into the shade, allowing light to diffuse softly and evenly, while adding an additional layer of texture and visual interest. The perforated detail enhances the lamp’s ability to create ambient lighting, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere in any space.

The twisted fabric cord adds a nostalgic touch, further emphasizing the lamp’s period aesthetic. The design as a whole represents the whimsical and inventive spirit of 1950s French lighting design, merging functionality with artistic expression.

The lamp is compact in size, with dimensions of 10 cm (3.9 inches) in width, 33 cm (13 inches) in depth, and 17 cm (6.7 inches) in height. This makes it an ideal piece for a variety of spaces, from side tables to shelves, where it can act as both a practical light source and a sculptural decorative object.
