Laurel MCM Pair of Lamps by R Barr and H Weiss (Set of 2)

This dynamic partnership produced some of the most iconic American mid-century modern (MCM) lighting designs. Harold Weiss, co-founder and president of the Laurel Lamp Company, teamed up with sculptor Richard "Dick" Barr starting in the mid-1960s to completely transform the brand's creative direction.

A pair of Laurel lamps designed by Barr and Weiss can vary widely in aesthetic, but their most notable collaborations fall into distinct stylistic categories:

Key Design Styles

The Chrome "Ribbon" / Swoop Lamps: One of their most famous configurations features a fluid, curvilinear swooping form of high-polished or nickel-plated chrome. Meant to evoke the Space Age and look like "quicksilver," these dynamic amorphic bodies usually sit atop stark, minimalist black enamel pedestal cube bases.
