Popular in the 1960s and 1970s, Brutalism originated post–World War II when the design of low-cost housing and government buildings was composed of mainly raw, unrefined materials. The architects and builders sought to project a sense of strength through their fortress-like designs, while also celebrating the imperfect appeal of handmade items. It's literally scrappy, and absolutely beautiful in the same sense. This wall sconce has a bronze color finish but it looks like a mixture of metals. Because of the way that the sconces made it could be used interior or exterior. I am not sure if this light was made by Tom Greene or Paul Evans but it sure does mimic what they have made in the past. See less
