20thC Hollywood Regency Palm Tree Lamp, Maison Honore c.1970

Creator: Maison Honoré Paris -Henri Fernandez
Offered by: Pushkin Antiques

Description
A wonderful floor lamp in the shape of a palm tree. The sculptural quality of this floor lamp is typical of designer Henri Fernandez for French firm Maison Honore. The piece, made largely from quality brass, resembles a palm tree or similar tropical plant. Brass weaves around the tree trunk like bark, ending in incredibly detailed layered leaves. Certain to imbue your contemporary space with a touch of extravagance, this floor lamp feels decidedly of the Hollywood Regency ilk, which championed opulence, luxe colour contrasts, and game-changing modernity.

Henri Fernandez left a legacy on design which are now turning back into trends. In the 1970’s Henri was already designing art furniture which drew inspiration from the natural world. Henri contributed for the collections of many artists back then such as Jacques Duval-Brasseur and Maison Honoré, using noble materials like brass, Agathe stones, and other semi-precious stones. All the pieces he designed to make a statement and can be defined as art. He defies the boundaries between art and design.

His mark for the artists he collaborated with is very notable. In the 1970s, French artist Jacques Duval-Brasseur produced a series of brass and glass tables in the form of animals and plants. It is clear to see the collaboration between the two artists and this palm tree lamp exemplifies Henri’s work.
