ベティランプ
c. 1939
Long before he became famous for his glass houses, architectural giant Philip Johnson dabbled in industrial design with this charming 1939 rendering of a 'Betty Lamp.' The drawing showcases a sleek, brass-colored oil lamp featuring a classic turned stem and a lidded bowl suspended by a curved handle, blending colonial nostalgia with modernist simplicity. Johnson created this piece during his early years at the Museum of Modern Art, proving that even the biggest names in architecture sometimes stop to design the little things that light up our homes.
