Lamp of the Week: 22" Poinsettia

 

The 22" Poinsettia (often referred to as the Double Poinsettia) showcases large expressive flowers blooming within a formal trellis. The tiered trellis creates windows through which the flowers expand. This shade has a blended coloration where different colors with the same tone are used throughout. When viewed from a distance the shade appears to be one tone, but when approached the individual colors begin to intensify and stand out from one another.

Set against a mottled celadon green background and a warm amber trellis, the flowers are a combination of complimentary orange tones. The orange is deceiving, because the flowers actually have been skillfully blended from glasses that include orange, amber, pink, red, and yellow. Commissioned in 2020 by a client in Arizona, the shade is shown on the Twisted Vine base (25.5" tall).
