The fixtures are made out of a white iron triangular shaped case holding white aluminium 'window blinds' slats that diffuses the lightsource. Very refined design that evokes many associations with all kind of 20th century product design.
The light shines through the openings downwards and a bit to the surroundings on the wall. The modest size and the black and off-yellow color makes this a perfect set of lights in any mix and match or vintage interior.
Fixtures are suitable for build-in-wall and wiring up to 240 volt. Wire + plug coming out possible. Each light has one normal E27 porcelain bulbholder suitable for modern LED bulbs. Both good condition, great opportunity to purchase as a pair.
The designs are clearly influenced by the cp 1 Perriand sconces and by the designs of Anvia, Hoogervorst, Sarfatti, Arteluce and Stilnovo. Freat ready to use condition and rewired through the whole lamp. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
