Sluggo Floor Light by Wendell Castle

A playful fusion of sculpture and function, Sluggo Prototype Lamp exemplifies Wendell Castle’s pioneering approach to art furniture. Crafted in 1968, this early work captures the organic, biomorphic forms that would come to define Castle’s career. Using his signature stack-lamination technique, Castle transforms the everyday lamp into a whimsical, anthropomorphic figure—part lighting, part living presence. With its fluid lines and sculptural stance, Sluggo challenges the boundaries between fine art and design, inviting viewers to reconsider the role of utility in aesthetic experience.
