ABOUT PRODUCTID 10847
This pair of wall sconces, produced by Karstadt in Germany during the 1980s, exemplifies the geometric approach of late 20th-century design. Each sconce features a domed, semi-circular metallic body in a warm, reflective gold finish, set on a base crafted from transparent, slightly green-tinted plexiglass cut into a precise semi-circular shape. The glossy metal surface creates mirror-like reflections, enhancing the interaction of light and color, while the smooth plexiglass introduces a modern contrast. Subtle vertical slits on the front of the dome serve both decorative and ventilating purposes. The proportions are balanced, measuring 32 cm in width, 14.5 cm in height, and 14.3 cm in depth. The style remains true to late modernism, referencing Art Deco through the use of gold tones and geometric forms. Preserved in good vintage condition, minor surface scratches are visible on the gold finish, typical for their age and use. These sconces echo the spirit of the era, when design confidently embraced bold materials and mirrored surfaces. The golden dome conjures the ambiance of the 1980s—domestic gatherings, cinematic interiors, and club spaces where every detail mattered. The geometric silhouette and metallic sheen speak of a time valuing both expressive flair and clarity. The transparent plexiglass base adds a note of lightness, as if the sconces were suspended between the past and the modern day. This pair could be paired with a simple neutral-toned sofa or a bold graphic artwork to highlight the contrast of textures and colors. They would work well in spaces inspired by Art Deco or eclectic modernism, where golden accents emphasize the character of the interior. It is worth combining them with smooth fabrics, fine wood elements, and minimalist accessories that allow the geometric form to take center stage.
