Charles Dudouyt (1885–1946) is the designer most closely associated with this idiom. From his Paris atelier on the rue Saint-Honoré he developed a distinctive language of chunky, deeply ridged oak forms that bridged the refinement of Art Deco with a more rustic, handcrafted sensibility. His work anticipated the so-called French Reconstruction and Brutalist aesthetic of the post-war years, which workshops across France took up and interpreted in regional oaks and elm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present lamp, with its dished base serving as a practical vide-poche and its contrast of dark-stained lower section against the paler stem, reflects this rural-modernist spirit. The warm diffusion of the parchment shade complements the tactile quality of the timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight:35cm Diameter:21cm (excluding Shade)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vault Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56251976417602,"sku":"VS2059","price":1382.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9271\/8658\/files\/zzfe1b_png_2ef56eba-72c1-4792-8b9a-d8ebeaced338.png?v=1790229596","url":"https:\/\/bazaa.com.au\/products\/a-french-oak-table-lamp-in-the-manner-of-charles-dudouyt","provider":"Bazaa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
