This pair of Elidus wall sconces from Sweden, dating to the 1970s, embodies the era's signature Scandinavian simplicity and subtle material contrasts. The cylindrical shades are crafted from a finely woven textile, stretched over a steel frame, with a tactile surface that softly diffuses light. Each sconce features a geometric, concentric pattern in molded plastic on the front, giving a sculptural, modernist accent. The arms and wall mounts, made of metal and finished in the same warm ivory or cream hue as the shades, have a straightforward, angular profile typical of 1970s Scandinavian design. Each sconce measures 17 cm in height and 12 cm in width. One sconce shows a small stain on the arm, as seen in the photos; overall, both are in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use consistent with age. These sconces tell the story of Swedish design in the 1970s—a period when lighting was intended to be both functional and discreetly decorative. The softly diffused glow passing through the textile shade evokes a sense of domestic tranquility, while the geometric plastic detail recalls modernist relief sculpture, as if each sconce were a small artwork on the wall. This set brings a quiet, contemplative mood to any space, conjuring images of Scandinavian evenings illuminated by
