H57 Boudoir Lamp
Jordan Mozer (b.1958), H57 Boudoir Lamp / Table Lamp: Cast Red Bronze + Hand Blown Glass, Chicago, 2007. Measurements; 17” tall x 5” diameter (43 cm tall x 12.7cm diameter). This blown glass and cast bronze H57 Boudoir lamp was created by the artist in 2007 for the renovation of Manhattan hotel.
PROCESS + MATERIALS
This boudoir lamp body was created by hand-carving maple wood. Each leg varies slightly by design. The carving was cast in 95% recycled red-bronze, which was then hand polished and bathed in elixirs and flames to patina the metal. Glass was blown by hand for the lamp shade: each piece of glass is unique. The cord is dressed in a shirred "sweater". Wiring is acceptable for commercial use. The design offers a choice of finials: either an apple blossom or a bud castings, also composed of recycled red bronze.
STORY
The lamps were created for Jordan Mozer + Associates, LTd.’s renovation of a 1920’s Hotel on 57th street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue in New York. The building was built as a residence for women in the arts and academia by a fashion designer named Mr. Blum. The property was purchased by Apple Real Estate.
The lamp embodies the hotel design themes: the vertical lines of 20’s fashion design; the handmade idiosyncrasy of the building; the apple blossom finial, riffing on the names of the owners (Blum+ Apple).
Like other aspects of the design, the lamp was fashioned to take the edge off a neighborhood dominated by commerce with a little eccentric personality.
