This pair of wall sconces by Ifö, designed by Sigvard Bernadotte in the 1950s, exemplifies the tenets of Scandinavian modernism through well-balanced form and material harmony. Each fixture consists of an elongated, elliptical shade made from high-gloss white opaline glass and a glazed porcelain base in a subtle, pale yellow hue with warm undertones. The design is defined by streamlined, minimalist proportions, completely free from ornamentation apart from a cable cutout discreetly integrated into the base—an affirmation of practical, function-driven thinking. The smooth, lustrous surfaces of the glass softly diffuse light, while the gently satin porcelain introduces a muted color accent. The sconces reflect the utilitarian, clear-sighted approach to lighting characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern period. They show minor signs of wear—such as slight chipping or surface marks on the porcelain and clearly visible cable cutouts—that do not affect their utility. Their overall condition can be described as good, with no evidence of major repairs or significant structural damage.In their precise, understated silhouette, these sconces echo the sensibility of northern European design in the 1950s: they seem to whisper of pragmatism and gentle daylight, with light dispersing smoothly across opaline glass.
