Pineapple Floor Lamp

Pineapple floor lamp. The fruit, a decorative motif in its own right, gives this lamp a figurative and whimsical character, making it a genuine decorative element as well as a source of light. Circa 1960.

The pineapple is a recurring motif in 20th-century decorative arts and in the lighting of the 1960s and 1970s, a period when figurative pieces readily combined whimsy with refinement. Placed beside a sofa or a reading chair, or in the corner of a room, this floor lamp provides accent lighting while adding a strong decorative note that suits a classical interior as well as a more contemporary setting.
