Vintage String Art Pendant Lamp
This is a vintage string art pendant lamp, sometimes called a “tension string” or “spun string” lamp. It features a wood frame base in a diamond/cube form, with simple white string meticulously wound to create geometric patterns that glow when illuminated. The design gives off a sculptural, mid-century modern look while casting warm, dramatic light patterns.
These lamps are most often associated with the 1960s–70s era and replicate the style of Laurel, Modeline, and similar California modernist lighting designers.
The use of string art and geometric wood framing draws inspiration from both fiber art movements of the 1960s and the sculptural lighting styles of makers like Maurizio Tempestini for Lightolier.
We have not identified the original designer or maker of this piece but know it is from the era.
