This pair of wall sconces by Karstadt, produced in Germany during the 1980s, exemplifies postmodern design at the intersection of minimalism and geometric abstraction. Each sconce features a sharply defined, silver-toned body in a pyramidal form, crafted from highly polished, chrome-finished metal that creates a cool, mirror-like effect. The base is composed of thick, clear plexiglass with subtle greenish edges reminiscent of cut glass or crystal, lending a refined, glossy accent. Measuring 26 cm in height, 27.5 cm in width, and 15 cm in depth, the sconces display precise construction, crisp angles, and symmetrical form—hallmarks of 1980s fascination with pure geometry and materiality. The vintage condition is good: minor surface scratches are visible on both the metal and plexiglass, and one sconce features a small area of rust, which does not detract from the overall coherence of the design. The form of these sconces speaks to an era defined by experimentation with light, reflection, and modern materials. The mirrored surfaces reflect their surroundings, creating an interplay of light and shadow on the wall, echoing the visual language of 1980s clubs and art galleries. The clear plexiglass base introduces a sense of lightness and subtle optical effect, shaping the space in the spirit of a decade that favored surprise and challenged convention. These sconces can be incorporated into a modern living room, minimalist hallway, or an eclectic interior, where they will serve as a bold, geometric feature. They pair well with crisp white or graphite walls and complement furniture with clean lines and metallic or glass accents. Consider combining them with a large mirror
