These circular wall lamps, now rare on the market, are composed of three concentric discs of white lacquered metal that diffuse a soft and poetic light from behind. Their minimalist design evokes both the aesthetics of the European Space Age and Dutch modernist architecture. The elegantly subdued, indirect light creates a subtle and graphic ambiance, ideal for contemporary or vintage interiors.

Designed by Chris Hiemstra, a leading figure in Dutch modernist design, the Planeta wall lamps are highly sought-after today, especially when presented as a pair, which has become unusual. Their dual function—to be placed on a table or mounted on the wall—makes them extremely versatile.

In excellent condition, these wall lamps are ready to be installed without modification. Their sculptural design and diffused light halo make them pieces that are as decorative as they are functional. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
