This impressive pair of vintage wall sconces exemplifies the bold, architectural spirit of late 20th-century postmodern and Space Age lighting design. Each fixture features a striking geometric composition: a tall vertical central rod supports three parallel hanging bars, intersected by horizontal L-shaped arms that create a dynamic cruciform silhouette. A prominent spherical element at the core adds reflective depth and visual balance, turning the piece into a sculptural object that plays beautifully with light and shadow.
Reminiscent of European avant-garde workshops from the 1970s–1980s (influences similar to Italian producers such as Stilnovo, Estiluz, or anonymous postmodern designers), the design blends minimalist precision with playful boldness. Wall-mounted via a circular backplate, each sconce is equipped with a standard E27 / E26 socket at the top for a single bulb, directing light both upward and downward to create ambient glow, accent highlights, and dramatic linear shadows from the intersecting forms.
