ABOUT PRODUCTID 15820
This postmodern sconce from Karstadt AG, crafted in Germany during the 1980s, exemplifies the era’s bold geometric expression through a harmonious semicircular form and distinctive material contrast. The central front section is fashioned from metal in a warm, light gold hue with a semi-mirrored, softly reflective finish, creating subtle plays of light within the room. The rear panel, also semicircular, is made of clear acrylic (or glass), tinged with a faintly cool green undertone, which sets off the gold metal and enhances its visual depth. Clean, seamless joints between components highlight solid construction, while the overall proportions—approximately 32 cm wide and 15 cm in both height and depth—lend the lamp an impressive, but not overpowering, presence. Condition: very good; the gold surface displays only slight traces of patina and minor signs of age, consistent with vintage character, while the acrylic remains free from chips and cracks. The sconce speaks in the visual language of late modernism transformed by pop sensibility—when 1980s designers gleefully played with color and archetypal geometric silhouettes. The gold’s reflective glow evokes the exuberance of Berlin galleries and the boldness with which postmodernism enlivened interiors. It seems to hint, “This light is not about convention; it’s about contrast—infused with wit and a playful spirit.” The shimmer of metal and the transparency of acrylic become a testament to decorative freedom and affinity for creative juxtapositions. It can be paired with high-gloss lacquered furnishings
