Lamp of the Week: 22" Poinsettia

The 22" Poinsettia shade (often referred to as the Double Poinsettia) is covered in large expressive flowers that are barely contained by a formal trellis. 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 as the viewer approaches, the individual colors 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 however, 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).
