This exceptional set of six rock lamps was designed by André Cazenave and manufactured by Disderot, France in 1969. These early production models were crafted by Disderot, the first manufacturer of these distinctive lamps, and they remain some of the most sought-after pieces in mid-century lighting design. Each lamp in this set is unique in shape and size, making for a dynamic and visually intriguing arrangement when displayed together. They are signed with the original Disderot or retailer sticker on the underside, further confirming their authenticity and historical significance.
The set features four different sizes, which complement each other beautifully, creating a striking and harmonious display. Their organic, rock-like appearance makes them particularly versatile, allowing them to function as both table and floor lamps. When illuminated, they emit a wonderfully soft and warm light, adding a sense of atmosphere and elegance to any interior. Whether arranged in a cluster or spread throughout a space, these lamps exude a natural, sculptural quality that blends effortlessly with various styles of décor.
Despite their age, the lamps are in good working condition. As expected with vintage pieces, they exhibit minor bumps and slight discolorations, but given their rough, textured surfaces, these small imperfections blend seamlessly into their design. In fact, these subtle signs of wear only enhance their resemblance to real stones, making them even more authentic and visually compelling.
Finding a complete and well-balanced set of these rock lamps is increasingly rare, especially in such an appealing combination of sizes. Their timeless design, merging the elegance of lighting with the raw beauty of nature, makes them a perfect addition to any interior. Whether used individually or as a set, these lamps bring warmth, character, and a sculptural presence to any space. A true collector’s find, they are both functional and artistic, embodying the innovative and organic spirit of 1960s design.
This lamp set is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is also suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
