ADO CHALE HEMATITE AND BRASS TABLE LAMP
While traveling through Germany, Ado Chale developed his passion for minerals in the mid 1950's. A decade later he opened a small shop in Brussels, selling rare and beautiful mineral specimens. It was around the same time that began to design furniture and lamps incorporating specimens from his extensive collection. A highly unusual lamp, it combines hematite with a sleek, architectural brass mounting. 25.5 x 14.5.x 8 inches. Ado Chale at Primavera Gallery
