The design combines an articulated brass arm with a black, inverted-cone metal shade, crowned by a truncated cone-shaped opening at the top, reinforcing its sculptural character. The contrast between the materials—brass, wood, and lacquered metal—is resolved with restraint, giving the whole a sophisticated and timeless presence. The visible wall joint and cord pull reinforce its functionality, while the shade's white interior ensures soft, even lighting. This is a truly unusual design, whose formal composition and use of materials clearly differentiate it from other sconces of its era. A unique piece with a carefully crafted aesthetic, representing the best of mid-20th-century European design.
