This 1970s German wall sconce exemplifies lighting design rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics. Entirely made of metal, it combines an intense, semi-gloss red conical shade and cylindrical wall mount with an exposed metallic arm and visible screws. A white power cord and small beige switch atop the base complete the design. The sconce is compactly proportioned—25 cm in height and 26 cm in width—with a functional, geometric silhouette. Surface scratches and minor wear on the shade attest to its authenticity and age. Condition: good, original vintage with natural patina and typical traces of use from the 1970s. The form of this sconce echoes the language of German design from the era, where color and simplicity set the tone for everyday interiors. The semi-matte, vibrant red shade recalls the dynamic spirit of 1970s domestic spaces, where lighting became a central element of the arrangement. The metal construction, minimalist yet assertive, speaks to a time when function and bold color shaped the atmosphere—eschewing unnecessary ornamentation in favor of a distinctive accent. The sconce could serve as a single light point above a sideboard, in a reading nook, or beside a bed. It introduces a vivid accent to interiors styled in retro, industrial, or mid-century modern collector’s spirit. It may be paired with teak furniture, simple black-framed graphics, or chromed details to highlight the contrast between the red geometry of the lamp and neutral backdrops. For an eclectic arrangement, it is worth combining with textiles in shades of grey or navy to enhance the depth of the shade’s color.
