The base is very simple, made of a chamfer box, and this sit on other 4 chamfer boxes. After that I made some splines, using smooth mode, and made a rectangle with rounder corners for the profile.

Convert this rectangle to editable poly and extrude this along the spline. Raise up the number of segment until you obtain a smooth result. In my case was 30

Do the same procedure once again, and here is the result

The border of the base was made from a rectangle, converted to editable spline, and then outline this a bit. After this I applied the extrude modifier.

Convert this to editable poly and chamfer all edges a bit to give this a smoother look.

The horizontal segments were made also with chamfer boxes rotated a bit.

The lamp was made from a box, converted to editable poly, and then scaled the base to obtain this shape. Delete the top poligon also.

Duplicate this geometry for the holding structure. Then select the side faces and inset them by poligon.

The delete the selected faces, and apply a shell modifier to both, glass, and support, to give a thickness

We are finished with the modeling

For the rendering and texturing I used Vray. The materials are simple

Brushed metal material

Gold material

Glass material - for this material I used a checker map in bump slot

Here is the final image

Thanks for watching the tutorial!
