Suspension Lamp by Franz West is a minimalist 1991 sculpture that combines industrial materials with an unconventional design approach, transforming a utilitarian object into a piece of conceptual art. The lamp consists of a simple metal chain, suspended horizontally, with light sockets hanging from either end. Its raw, unpolished appearance and lack of traditional structure challenge typical notions of form and functionality in lighting design. The piece embodies West’s playful defiance of conventional art and design boundaries, inviting viewers to reconsider everyday objects through an artistic lens. Produced in an open edition, this lamp serves as both a commentary on industrial aesthetics and a statement on the intersection of art and functionality, urging contemplation of the mundane in an unconventional context.
