Karl Springer

Last month the owners/buyers/my bosses of Darnell & Company went on a shopping trip for the showroom and brought back lots of great finds including a pair of goat skin lamps possibly by the great designer Karl Springer.  This was my first introduction of his work and let me tell you I was VERY impressed.
Karl was a designer and manufacturer of furniture and accessories and used shagreen a lot.  He was most popular in the 70's.  Below are pictures of a few of his designs...
