Extremely rare set of three Cubosfera wall lights designed by Alessandro Mendini for Fidenza Vetraria in the 1960s — iconic sculptural objects that sit at the intersection of art, glass experimentation and Italian radical design. Each sconce is composed of two perfectly moulded glass halves, blown using a pneumatic press technique — an exceptionally complex and advanced process for its time. The result is a transparent cubic volume enclosing a spherical lens, a pure geometric interplay that produces remarkable optical effects: reflections, distortions, and a glowing depth when illuminated. These pieces are the first and most valuable version, entirely transparent. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution,
Up to 250V (Europe/UK Standard).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
