Full Description

The Big Sweat Lamp is a sculptural floor lamp that plays with balance, scale, and colour. A coloured steel arm cantilevers off a cast concrete base, creating a graphic silhouette that feels both deliberate and off-centre — a bit of tension, a lot of presence.

Originally designed in 2014, it’s still a standout piece in any room- bold enough to act as a large lamp or focal point, but refined enough to integrate into your existing setup. Ideal for living room lighting or tucked beside a chair as a sculptural reading lamp, it brings both personality and purpose to a space.

This piece offers functional floor lighting with an expressive twist. Available in a selection of finishes, the lamp is part object, part tool-  a unique addition to any collection of lighting.
