Heritage & Origin
Stewart Ross James made an indelible mark on the world of interior design, transforming spaces with his innovative vision during the mid-20th century. Born in Toronto and later establishing his career in New York City, his collaborations, notably with the Hansen Lamp Company, gave rise to designs that became synonymous with refined elegance. This lamp stands as a tribute to his enduring legacy - combining practicality with artistic brilliance.
James gained acclaim for his innovative designs and his collaborations with various companies, including the Hansen Lamp Company, where he crafted elegant and stylish lamps. His creations often embodied the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, which was highly popular during his era. In addition to his design work, James produced watercolour renderings, drawings, blueprints, and other materials that documented his creative process.
His legacy has been preserved in collections like those at Historic New England, where his papers, photographs, and designs are available for research. James' influence continues to be felt in contemporary interior design, and his contributions are celebrated by design enthusiasts and historians alike.

Crafted in bronze, this lamp is not only visually arresting but also built to last.
