The postmodern Cister wall lamp by Ikea, produced in Sweden during the 1980s, exemplifies the era’s graphic, geometrically driven approach to design. Its body, crafted from deep matte black metal, provides a crisp, modern foundation for the striking three-dimensional panel of scalloped white satin-finished acrylic. Crowning the lamp is a wide, transparent band of vividly green acrylic, whose glossy surface introduces a distinctive chromatic accent and diffuses light in a unique way. The precise, even profiling of the stepped ridges and the absence of visible hardware reflect careful construction. Together, the dynamic interplay of the black frame, sculptural white relief, and translucent green accent yield a high-contrast composition characteristic of postmodernism’s visual language. Condition: excellent, with no visible damage, discoloration, or repair; all original design features remain fully intact and very well preserved. The lamp’s form is a testament to a decade when colour, geometry, and playful form were used to turn everyday objects into moments of visual intrigue. Saturated hues, set against graphic black and white, evoke the spirit of the 1980s—when functional lighting was often designed to double as sculptural wall art. This piece, almost like a badge from its era, shows how light and shape could trade in irony and vibrancy, bringing a subtle pop-cultural resonance to the domestic sphere. As illumination filters through the vivid green acrylic, it softly projects a coloured glow
