Bull Sculptures

The driftwood trend can also lend itself to sculpture, and, with its wave-washed grain, gives this bull a gentle regard.

This striking Bronze Bull, sculpted by Antoine Poncet, longs to be a fierce centerpiece. 

A Metal Bull ready to charge, and welded to perfection.

Pamplona is a hand-carved limestone sculpture named after the host city of the infamous Running of the Bulls.

Table Lamps

Macassar ebony wood furnishings are hard to find for good reason: this dense species tends to have a high cut resistance, a trait that only further enhances the intrigue of designer Craig Van Den Brulle's own Macassar Ebony Lamps

The short height of the Norris Table Lamp allows people to see over its burlap shade. Take advantage with room placement - this concrete lamp is no wall hugger. 

Inspired by nature's own geometry, Ukranian designer Vasiliy Butenko crafted aluminum hexagons to fashion the Mess Petal Tree table lamp, shown here in a fine blue.

For the Eiffel Iron Baluster Lamp, minimal framework makes a full impact. 

Bring on the feng shui with this sculptural pair of Foo Dog Lamps designed by Barbara Cosgrove. 

In their native New Orleans, artists Michael Clement & Alexis Walter teamed up to create a lighting collection that includes this hand-painted gold leaf table lamp titled Amelia

The firm properties of metal, paired with the subtle touch of designer David Berman's hand-applied finish, make the Gabi Table Lamp one for reflection.

Designer Carolyn Kinder's ceramic Soprana Table Lamp takes on the look of an abstract landscape. 

Fine Art Lamps live up to their name in the block-print patterned Quadralli Table Lamp

Bowled Over

A breezed edge is granted a change of view on Uttermost's Alei Bowl

Appeal to your sense of touch with R&Y Augousti's shallow Shagreen Bowl, encircled in a burnished golden bronze. 

The ceramics of the Abalone Bowl take after the beauty of its mother-of-pearl namesake.
