J Garloff Design - Trident Copper Floor Lamp

Trident Copper Floor Lamp

SOLD

One day my youngest son Max came into my studio to engage in conversation regarding the Greek Gods. Immediately resonating with his interest in Greek Mythology, I began telling the story of Poseidon. We considered what it would be like to create a lamp for Poseidon. Creating a specific lamp that would have the intentional feel and design of Poseidon’s Trident intrigued me. A lamp made in tribute to the God of the Sea had to be solid, bold, and especially elegant. We decided that the lamp would be floor-standing with feet resembling fish hooks. My wife was not too sure about our “outrageous idea” until the piece was complete. Once the dimmer was demonstrated, her heart was won over by the romance of the variable illumination and its overall elegance. Thanks to my young one’s imagination, the Trident Lamp, a unique one-of-a-kind creation, has become a perfect gem in the J. Garloff Design collection.

    This "phantom" lamp is a great piece of creative design. The black, brass, and copper base is handsome and intriguing, and the vertical light-saber-like frosted glass around the elongated bulb make it look like something out of Star Wars. John's ingenuity and attention to detail are really showcased here. Thank you!.

    This Rennaissance table lamp is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, with a satisfying heft, quality brass electrical parts, and a gorgeous blue finish. It creatively incorporates vintage parts from old furniture and industrial machinery to make something original and beautiful. It came packed for a trip to the moon. Thank you, John.

    This Candy Purple lamp is just that; it has a dark purple finish so vibrant it almost looks metallic, though in fact it is more like enamel. Its design is simple but elegant and nicely balanced. The brass electrical parts, which I feared might be just the standard cheap stuff, turned out to be high quality stock parts made of heavy solid brass. John clearly cares about the details!

    This "Wedding Cake" lamp is a great example of John Garloff's imaginative and supremely careful work. The very concept of spiraling the white cylinders around the pink central column, and fastening each cylinder on with a brass ball, is quite a stroke of inspiration. The colors--white, pink (mostly hidden and just peaking through), and brass are great together and do indeed remind one of frosting on a wedding cake.

    I'm not sure how John managed to line up all these separate cylinders so perfectly with the holes he must have drilled to fasten them; there is not a gap anywhere to be seen. The lamp does just what we need it to visually in our room, and at the same time it's also a real conversation piece in its own right when you get up close to it. This is our fourth lamp from John, and all are meticulously made.
