Ontwerpen voor een lamp 1908

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet’s “Ontwerpen voor een lamp” (Designs for a Lamp) from 1908 is a pencil drawing of two designs for a lamp. This is a preliminary sketch for a larger project, and the simple lines of the design show the lamp's structure and the artist’s artistic vision for the final piece. The drawing is a part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. It is a good example of the artist’s style and his approach to design. The drawing shows the artist’s interest in creating decorative objects and using natural forms as inspiration, as seen in the use of the swirling lines and elegant curves in the design. This drawing is a valuable insight into the artistic process of the Dutch designer.
