These iconic sconces are a stunning example of mid-century Italian design, showcasing Vignelli’s signature blend of minimalist geometry and tactile elegance.

Each lamp features a sleek, rectangular brushed aluminum canopy that houses the light source, from which cascades a beautiful curtain of fine vertical textile threads in pearl white. This unique fringe creates a soft, fluid contrast against the rigid, architectural form above, resulting in a sophisticated interplay between structure and texture. The double wall lamp model, presented here, is particularly striking due to its large size and commanding presence, making it an exceptional centerpiece in any interior. These lights are part of a modular collection that includes single and double wall lamps as well as ceiling fixtures, but the double sconces stand out for their balance of scale and refinement.

All six lamps in stock are in fully original condition, with recently cleaned fringes and intact Arteluce stickers inside, preserving their authenticity and historical value. Offered in sets of two, these rare Vignelli sconces are perfect for collectors, design enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to elevate their space with a timeless piece of design history.
