Ontwerpen voor lampen c. 1905 - 1906

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet created these designs for lamps using graphite on paper. The composition shows multiple sketches, each presenting a variation on lamp design. The lines are delicate and suggestive, focusing on form and structure rather than detail. The geometric shapes such as triangles, circles, and trapezoids create a visual rhythm across the page. The artist plays with symmetry and asymmetry, giving each lamp a distinct character. Notice the balance between the functional aspect of the design and its aesthetic appeal. The lamps hang suspended in space, connected by fine lines that emphasize their hanging structure. This sketch engages with the modernist concern of uniting form and function. It invites us to consider how everyday objects can be elevated through thoughtful design, reflecting the broader cultural interest in functional art. This interplay of geometric forms and functional design is a testament to Cachet’s vision, where utility and beauty converge.
