Defined by bold geometries and rich material contrast, each sconce features a striking hexagonal blue chrome frame housing thick sculptural glass diffusers. The translucent glass prisms — raw, textured, and architectonic — refract light with dramatic nuance, playing off the metallic gleam of the surrounding structure. Light becomes volume, color becomes reflection — a fusion of Brutalist impulse and Italian decorative sophistication. These pieces encapsulate Poliarte’s signature language: geometric, expressive, and quietly radical. Both sculptural and functional, they hold their own in contemporary interiors, from collector’s walls to high-concept residential settings. Condition: Glass elements are externally perfect, with small imperfections visible only internally — these do not affect functionality or visual appeal. The metal structure shows signs of age and surface wear, as documented in the photos. Recently rewired and fully functional. Dimensions: • Small sconce: 30 × 30 × 22 cm (11.8 × 11.8 × 8.7 in) • Large sconce: 40 × 30 × 22 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 8.7 in) This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
