Phyllis Morris

Phyllis Morris was an iconic trendsetter in the world of interiors who wrote her own rules. The "swinging 1960s" gave Phyllis an opportunity to shake up the interior design world with her vision of how colorful and eclectic interiors and furnishings could be. Her saying "Minimalism is for those without much to say,” is emblematic of her lighting collection for Currey & Company, which boasts large-scale, grandiose chandeliers and table lamps.

Phyllis’ classic Poodle Lamp propelled Phyllis into the limelight and became an icon of the era’s decor. Currey’s Ms. Poodle Table Lamp is a refined remake of the original lamp she carved from clay with a potato peeler, the mid-century modern tastemaker proving her sense of humor. The composite composition of the poodle perches atop a clear optic crystal base gives it a more modern vibe.
