This modernist wall lamp was manufactured by Pokrok Žilina in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s and features a compact, geometric silhouette characteristic of mid-century modernism. The lamp’s main body is rendered in a deep, matte black, while a translucent, ribbed acrylic or plastic diffuser in a cool off-white tone wraps seamlessly around the top and front. The diffuser’s subtle linear texture creates a gentle, diffused lighting effect. Clean lines and sharply defined edges of the body contrast with the soft contours of the shade. Small perforations along the lower edge of the black panel serve either a ventilation or decorative function. The lamp is fitted with a white power cord and an understated, round, off-white switch on the front. All materials and finishes remain original, with no evidence of restoration. Condition: New Old Stock – unused, showing only the slightest signs of age.This design echoes an era when functional clarity and restraint defined the visual language of interiors. The smooth black facade recalls the disciplined order of modernism, while the softly ribbed diffuser tempers the composition, filtering light like a veil of mist. If this sconce could speak, it might tell a story of 1960s optimism—when light was meant to shape the atmosphere, not command the stage—following the credo “less is more”.It could be placed in interiors inspired by modernism or mid-century modern, where clean lines and textural contrasts take precedence. The sconce would work well above a sofa or in a hallway, paired with slender-legged furniture, a geometric rug, and monochrome prints in black frames. It can be combined with other 1960s lighting fixtures to create a cohesive, curated effect, or introduced into an eclectic setting as a graphic counterpoint to richer forms and colors.
