The design is defined by an opaline glass cube with rounded corners, intersected by a slender brass element that remains visible above and below the glass. This simple composition gives the lamps their distinctive appearance and elegant balance. The interplay between opaline glass, warm brass, and dark lacquered steel creates depth and contrast. Due to the layered construction, the image changes subtly from different viewing angles, giving the lamps a strong presence even during the day. When the lighting is switched on, the opaline glass emits a soft, even glow while the light source is completely concealed. This makes these lamps suitable for both ambient and accent lighting. This original set was produced by Maison Arlus in France, circa 1958 to 1962. The lamps have been carefully cleaned, preserving the natural patina of the brass. The glass is in good condition and the fixtures are ready for immediate use. A special and hard-to-find pair for lovers of authentic French design from the mid-twentieth century.
