ABOUT PRODUCTID 254
This wall sconce from the 1970s, produced by German manufacturer 'PAN' Keramik, exemplifies mid-century modern design with a pronounced sculptural quality. The glazed ceramic body is shaped as a square with a central elevation housing the E27 bulb socket. The construction is robust and substantial, finished in a deep, warm brown that transitions to nearly black at the edges. The surface features a characteristic 'fat lava' cratered texture, highly glossy and light-reflective. An irregular cream-white border frames the piece, providing contrast and accentuating the geometric silhouette. The modular design allows several sconces to be combined into vertical or horizontal wall compositions. The sconce is preserved in very good condition – the ceramic surface is free from damage, chips, or repairs, showing only intentional, artisanal nuances in the glazing.This object echoes the voice of 1970s West Germany, an era of bold experimentation with texture, color, and light. The geometric form and lava-like glaze evoke a period when ceramics transcended mere utility to become statements of artistic courage. The glossy surface catches the light, producing dynamic reflections—as though the sconce tells a story of seeking new meaning in everyday objects. In this piece, one finds a manifesto of the decade: the meeting of light and matter in expressive, daring reliefs.In an interior, the sconce can be arranged in a rhythmic composition of multiple modules, creating a luminous band along a living room or hallway wall. It would suit mid-century modern schemes, pairing well with teak furniture, minimalist graphics, or earth-toned textiles. It
