Vincent Gonzalez: 1970s-style curved wood carved wall sconce

Monumental wall sconce made of carved and curved wood, created by Vincent Gonzalez (1928–2019), a French sculptor and designer known for his exploration of organic forms and light. Length: 200 cm. The structure consists of a ribbon of solid wood that is curved and openwork, articulated in interlocking curves and dynamic points, evoking the movement and tension of natural forms.A particularly masterful interplay of solids and voids, typical of Gonzalez’s formal vocabulary in the late 1960s and 1970s. Electrical wiring discreetly integrated into the structure (screw-in light bulb).Superb hand-carved and hand-finished work, original patina, in very fine overall condition. Vincent Gonzalez (1928–2019) was an unconventional designer, closely associated with the organic art movement and postwar French sculptural furniture. His works combine rigorous design with a free-flowing sense of volume, in an approach often reminiscent of architecture. His light fixtures, rare on the market, sometimes appear in period decorative ensembles, straddling the line between art and design.
