Rare and elegant model 167.A82 floor lamp by François Rispal, France, circa 1950s.
The lamp features a solid teak frame with graceful, architectural lines and a subtly asymmetrical stance, characteristic of Rispal’s biomorphic aesthetic completed by a functional small tray. Its integrated tripod structure combines both balance and fluidity, while the tapered woven fabric shade in warm neutral tones softly diffuses the light to create an inviting, ambient glow.
François Rispal was a visionary French designer and lighting manufacturer active during the mid-20th century. Renowned for his organic, sculptural forms, he created elegant wooden lamps that embodied the spirit of postwar modernism. Working primarily in teak and other fine woods, Rispal combined craftsmanship with avant-garde design, producing pieces that balanced warmth, simplicity, and innovation. His creations, especially from the 1950s, are now celebrated as icons of French mid-century design for their timeless beauty and architectural grace.
