brutalist - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/brutalist/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

It's unusual in several ways. First, the gooseneck is not the normal slender kind that makes the shade the emphasis of the design, it's quite the opposite here. The gooseneck is definitely the attention-grabber here with its wide, black rubber sleeve. Second, the lamp clamps - either horizontally or vertically - with a sturdy slot to hold it in place. Third, nothing about this lamp is subtle - it's brutalist in its design. The clamp, the tightening knob, the switch... it's all just... brutally functional, and aesthetically very different. It would seem to date from the 1970s - the company itself ceased to exist in 1984.

This incredibly different lamp is in good, used condition and in fully working order. There are marks of wear and tear and some minor surface losses to the shade, but no major dents or dings at all. The rubber sleeve on the neck is in good shape. The clamp/base section has a few scratches but is in good shape.

The lamp - measured from base to shade at full neck extent- is approximately 66cm (26 in.) in length. The neck itself is 48cm (19 in.) long. The shade has an opening diameter of 11cm (4¼ in.) and is a semi-globe shape.  The slot has a depth of 6cm (2¼ in.) and a width of 3cm (1¼ in.).

]]> Modernist Three Candle Triangular Holder made by Ianthe https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/modernist-three-candle-triangular-holder-made-ianthe/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=modernist-three-candle-triangular-holder-made-ianthe Wed, 07 Mar 2018 20:39:34 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1944 A striking three-section candle holder / centrepiece made by Ianthe which would be very compatible with a mid-century or modern minimalist interior. The design is simple and effective, each section connecting with the next and locking into place via the discs which themselves are held in place by the candle holder which screws on.

Each arm measures approximately 15 cm (6 in) and the sections have a width of about 19cm (7¼ in), with a height of 14cm (5½ in).  The candle holders have a outer diameter of 2.5cm (1 in).  There are some minor signs of wear and tear, but nothing that detracts or is visually disturbing. According to some accounts, the piece is finished in silver plate. We aren't so sure (there are no stamps to that effect) although that might be the case.  But silver plate or not, that doesn't matter to us... it's the overall look of this Ianthe candle holder which should and does appeal.
