ABOUT PRODUCTID 1988
This pair of Space Age wall sconces, produced in Germany during the 1970s, embodies a striking, geometric approach characteristic of the era. Each sconce features a perfectly spherical form, horizontally divided into two visually distinct halves. The upper segment is crafted from smoked, gradient-tinted glass in a deep graphite-brown shade, with a glossy, mirror-like surface that subtly brightens toward the equator. The lower hemisphere is made of matte, dark brown plastic, providing a warm counterpoint to the cool glass. The construction is seamless, with no visible fasteners, emphasizing the purity and unity of the sphere. Discreet pull-cord switches, finished with small cylindrical handles, integrate harmoniously with the design. Materials include smoked glass, high-quality plastic, and likely internal metal components; surfaces are smooth and uniform—glossy above, matte below. Both sconces are in excellent vintage condition, free of notable signs of wear. These lamps echo the aspirations of a decade captivated by space exploration and technological optimism: the idealized sphere, split as though into day and night, channels light with the discipline and clarity typical of 1970s design. The gradient glass evokes the tinted visors of astronauts, while the matte base grounds the object in an earthy, approachable palette. Every detail, from the nuanced color transitions to the absence of visible screws, speaks to a quest for pure, timeless form.
