year 1952-1953
material ceramic, metal
info Since 1952, he had been working on table lamps whose porcelain shades not only served to protect from glare but all to modulate the light through the varying thicknesses of the body of the relief surface—which allowed the light to shine through more in some places and less in others. The shade was supported by three slender silver-plated metal legs, gracefully flared outwards at the bottom. There were also thin-walled bowls with similarly sculpted surfaces that rested, seemingly floating, in a metal framework. The metal parts were manufactured by WMF with them Wagenfeld had collaborated under contract since 1949. Parallels with Wagenfeld’s combination of porcelain and metal can slo be found once again in Latham’s concurrent ‘Form 200’. Here too the bowl appears almost to flat above the table, held by a fine metal from that also serves the practical purpose of supporting the bowl upright and providing it with handles at the sides without spoiling its shape.
