Dated to the 1950s, these sculptural fixtures boast lacquered metal bodies—one in matte teal, the other in warm ochre yellow—accented by radiating brass rods that create a sunburst-like composition.
The diffusers are made from richly textured, frosted Murano-style glass, held delicately in place by elegant brass brackets. Whether ceiling- or wall-mounted, the design captures the optimism and experimental spirit of Italian modernism—an era where function became form, and lighting turned theatrical.
Their architectural rhythm and palette make them ideal for collectors, galleries, or interiors seeking a pop of color and historical flair.
