James Bartlett was inspired by the forms of ancient columns
and pillars, particularly those of the ancient Greek order
of architecture: Doric. The traditional forms have been
subverted so that the classical scalloped details of the
structure instead encircle the interior of the shade. This
detail can therefore only be seen from certain angles,
particularly beautiful when viewed from below, revealing a
form that is not unlike the crimped edge of a seashell.
The beautiful marbled material is actually produced from
a resin, giving the appearance of a heavy, solid form, that
is in fact lightweight and translucent, allowing for a great
variety of sizes and finishes. An elegant smooth marble-look
is complimented by quality fittings, to give a contemporary
and stylish finish.
