Singular pair of wall sconces in white lacquered metal, with rectangular body of curved profile and horizontal fins at the upper and lower ends that modulate and direct the emission of light. The central element is a chrome-plated mirror bulb, a technical and aesthetic solution very characteristic of Italian lighting design of the 1970s, which turns the light source itself into a decorative and reflective element.

The choice of the mirror bulb is no coincidence: it creates a warm, directed light source that interacts with the lacquered fins, generating a play of reflections and shadows with a great atmospheric effect.
