This modernist wall sconce from 1950s Germany exemplifies craftsmanship where function meets bold form. The construction combines polished aluminum with thick acrylic panels in a vivid, translucent orange. The lamp’s structure features three curved, petal-like acrylic elements radiating symmetrically from a central metal mount, which also houses the E14 bulb socket. Minimalist joints and precise assembly highlight the geometric, Pop Art-inspired lineage of the design. The aluminum surfaces are smooth and reflective, while the acrylic captures and diffuses light, intensifying the saturation of the color. The sconce remains in excellent condition, with no signs of damage or wear on either the metal or acrylic components. The electrical installation is fully functional. The lamp’s silhouette channels the spirit of the 1950s, an era when modernist fascination with pure geometry blended with the new vitality of Pop Art and explosive color. The sconce evokes abstract flowers or stylized flames, bringing a sense of movement and luminous lightness into the interior. The orange acrylic acts as a light filter, creating a dynamic, warm effect, while the cool aluminum provides an industrial counterpoint—an interplay between precision and expressive freedom. This fixture seems to tell the story of postwar European designers seeking new languages of form and color. The sconce can be paired with mid-century furniture or contrasted against minimalist, contemporary settings. It would work well above a light wood sideboard, alongside
