I couldn’t help thinking of Gino Severini, Umberto Boccioni and the
rest of the Italian Futurists when I saw this piece at the Galerie Diane dePolignac in Paris. Made of brass and
striking a balance between sculpture and object, this marvelous piece represents
dynamism in art at its finest.
But it’s as an object – a lamp – that it provides wonderful decorative
illumination to a room.
Designed and made by French artist Salomé de Fontainieu, Homefire may not be the first choice for
a lamp to flank a Chippendale or Sheraton sofa at the White House or Windsor
Castle (although I think THAT would rock), but there are interiors where a lamp
like this would be a fearless addition to the décor … and certainly a dynamic
addition to any contemporary art collection.
