Pair Of 1980s Robert Sonneman For George Kovacs Postmodern Brass & Glass Table Lamp

A striking Postmodern table lamp designed by Robert Sonneman for George Kovacs, exemplifying the designer’s sleek architectural lighting vocabulary of the late 20th century. The lamp features twin vertical polished brass columns rising from a matte black base to support a circular glass shelf and sculptural black uplight housing above. The interplay of materials—brushed brass, smoked/clear glass, and black enameled metal—creates a refined geometric composition characteristic of Sonneman’s modernist aesthetic.
Both functional and sculptural, the design reflects the era’s high-style blend of industrial precision and decorative minimalism associated with late-modern American lighting.

NOTE: Another pair of these lamps are in this same auction.

Condition: Good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age. Brass columns retain luster with minor handling marks; black enamel base and upper housing with small scuffs. Glass shelf intact without visible cracks.
