Price History
Description
These luminous sculptures shaped like peeled bananas, evocative of the American Pop Art movement, were created by the Belgian artists at Studio Job. The Banana lamps were created initially in limited editions for the Art Light exhibition at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris. Seletti then decided to mass-produce these wacky, offbeat lamps, replacing the bronze with golden resin. The long, slender diffuser is made of glass. The banana is the most popular fruit in the world. The Banana lamp is a reference to the other popular Pop Art icons, for example the Campbell’s Soup Cans, Dollars Signs and Coca-Cola Bottles. These ultra-realistic lamps shaped like peeled bananas are inspired by the Andy Warhol movement : they are a positive representation of something we see everyday, something everyone can recognise. Objects are portrayed in their simplest and most recognisable form. Once transposed onto a canvas or another medium, even the most common trappings of our modern civilisation, like a simple banana, can become works of art. Studio Job brings together two free spirits, Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel, renowned for their rebellious, non-conformist way of creating a unique world. The Flemish couple work in both the industrial world and the world of art and design on projects combining craftmanship and a highly expressive avant-garde language rich in symbols, often for limited editions.
Our Stylist Says
I love this banana-shaped lamp for its fun and quirky aesthetic-it’s a great way to add humour and a pop of colour to a contemporary or eclectic interior. Its bright yellow resin and glass finish make it ideal for playful living rooms, kids’ spaces, or even as a statement piece on a side table. For styling, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture to let it stand out, or mix it with other colourful or unexpected objects for a more curated, eclectic look. Practical tips include keeping the surrounding decor simple to allow the lamp's playful character to shine and using it as a bedside or desk lamp to inject some personality into everyday spaces.
