About the Item

Leather-Wrapped Floor Lamp with Parchment Shade, Attributed to Charlotte Wawer, Germany, 1950s An elegant and sculptural floor lamp attributed to German designer Charlotte Wawer, dating to the 1950s. The lamp combines natural materials with a restrained modernist sensibility, characteristic of mid-century German design. The tall, tapering stem is fully wrapped in supple dark leather, which has acquired a warm patina over time, lending the piece both tactility and presence. It rises from a weighted circular base and narrows gently before supporting the broad cylindrical shade. The shade itself is crafted in parchment, its surface softly diffusing light to create a warm and atmospheric glow. It is finished with leather lacing along the edges, a detail that underscores the handcrafted quality and quiet refinement of the design. Wawer, known for her sensitive use of organic materials and her ability to balance simplicity with artisanal detail, often created lighting and furniture that blurred the line between craft and modern design. This floor lamp exemplifies her approach: at once understated and richly textured, functional yet deeply expressive. A timeless piece that would bring warmth and sophistication to both modernist and eclectic interiors, while also serving as a collectible example of mid-century German design. Please contact us for an accurate shipping quote. About Charlotte Wawer (1905–1990) Charlotte Wawer was a German designer and craftswoman active in the mid-20th century, best known for her lighting and furniture that combined modernist simplicity with artisanal techniques. Having trained in applied arts, she was influenced by the Bauhaus ethos of uniting craft and design, though she pursued a quieter, more material-focused path than some of her contemporaries. Her work frequently employed natural materials — leather, parchment, and wood — in pared-back forms that emphasized texture and craftsmanship. While never produced on an industrial scale, her designs are increasingly recognised as distinctive examples of postwar German modernism, reflecting a sensitivity to both function and atmosphere.
