MONUMENTAL MODELINE MOLDED WALNUT PLYWOOD MODERN SCULPTURE TABLE LAMP 1950 CHARLES EAMES EVANS HERMAN MILLER - DESIGN: An absolutely captivating large Modern molded Walnut plywood table lamp design manufactured by Modeline lighting designs in the manner of Charles Eames molded Evans plywood chairs for Herman Miller circa 195o. This highly sculptural base is expertly hand crafted from 3 curved plywood panels that have various abstract template cut shapes to create a multi-dimensional form of space and light. The plywood construction, thickness and walnut veneer is identical to that found in early Charles Eames/Evans Plywood LCW & DCW chairs and these are believed to have been contracted by Evans plywood being the only manufactures who were doing large production of this new steam bending process in 1950.
