Jiri Georges Lauda Lamp

This Striking Studio Pottery Table Lamp designed by Jiri Georges Lauda and produced by noted ceramicist Paul Pannier for Norwood Company of Montreal, Canada.  1970’s

Lauda’s design is likely influenced by modernist wood block printing. With heavily incised organic design of pods of fruit forming cross sections. Carved terra cotta, accompanied by a matt deep black glazing with flared bright orange, green and yellow neck. Beautifully conceived and executed in Quebec , this mid-century carved lamp base (with contemporary shade) is produced by two of Quebec’s preeminent modernist practitioners.

Jiri Georges Lauda was born in 1925 in Prague. He studies at the Prague Museum of Fine Arts. After a brief episode in Paris, he moved to Montreal in 1951 and studied to become a teacher. The practical and theoretical training he received in his native country gave Georges Lauda basic knowledge with which he could experiment and find his true path. This multidisciplinary artist also did engravings, sculptures, illustrations, murals, creative designs and worked with ceramics. He shared a studio with ceramist Paul Pannier.
