Notes: In the early 1920s, when Chicago was seeing a heyday in American architecture, artist Frederick Cooper was drawn to the still fairly new invention of lamps. Although he was a sculptor and watercolorist, he established a studio in 1923, branching out to create lamps using a mix of brass, fabric, glass and wood, mirroring the innovative American architecture of his day. Today, under his trademark name, owned by Wildwood (purchased in 2011) his vision of combining of unique design, handcrafted in authentic materials continues. Frederick Cooper lamps are now designed by artists in -house as well as through collaborations with revered designers outside the company such as Larry Laslo, Mario Buatta, Alexander Julian, John Mascheroni and Joann Barwick. Frederick Cooper lamps are a favorite of designers and architects due not only to the unique designs but the quality of craftsmanship and use of natural materials like brass, bronze, nickel, copper, art glaze ceramic, painted porcelain, crystal, marble, jade and alabaster. Frederick Cooper lamps can be found in the White House, embassies, luxury resorts and luxury homes throughout the world. less
