The Cenotaph Lamp Collection is based on a foreign man, his daughter, three horses, a mare, a gelding, and a horse of both sexes. In the dream sequence, the man offers Barron a delicately spun gold card to call upon him to meet his daughter and the horses. Barron attempts to contact the man night-after-night to no avail. The shape of the Cenotaph lamp is both an elevated offering bowl and a Cenotaph (empty tomb) for the daughter and the horses who are never to be found again. All pieces are made from turned brass, cast bronze and Aesculus burl, which is slabbed and aged for many months before turning by US artisans.
Inspired by dream imagery, this special edition of the Cenotaph lamp was created exclusively for The Future Perfect and debuted at Design Miami 2016.
