This pair of Italian sconces from the 1980s evokes the geometric refinement and material experimentation of late-modern design. Its brass structure brings warmth and solidity, while the plexiglass elements, arranged in vertical and horizontal sheets, introduce lightness. The composition, almost architectural, stands out for its balance between straight lines and overlapping planes, generating a dynamic visual effect even at rest. The rectangular shades soften the light, creating an ambient illumination that contrasts with the more sculptural presence of the base.
As a whole, these wall lamps combine functionality and decorative character, being representative pieces of the Italian design of the 80s, where the mix of materials and the search for new forms defined a sophisticated and contemporary aesthetic.
