The Polam Wilkasy wall sconce from the 1970s exemplifies Polish lighting design rooted in mid-century modern and space age aesthetics. Its construction combines a matte, vibrant orange plastic base with a ribbed, spherical glass shade. The globe features a diamond-cut texture and is clear with a subtle yellowish tint, enhancing its vintage look. The angular mounting with a visible screw hole references the functional simplicity characteristic of Polam Wilkasy lighting. The lamp measures 16 cm in diameter, 17 cm in depth, and 22 cm in height. The condition is good vintage—minor traces of age such as slight discoloration and a small stain on the lower part of the base are present, yet all elements remain original and well preserved. This sconce carries the voice of its era, a time when design embraced boldness and the possibilities of new materials. The orange base evokes the optimism of the 1970s, when plastic symbolized progress, while light refracted through the ribbed glass creates an atmospheric interplay of reflections. The fixture, reminiscent of a cinematic frame from the period, hints at readiness for experimentation and an ease in everyday life. Its form resonates with a hint of futuristic energy and a certain tenderness for domestic rituals of illumination. The lamp would work well in a living room or hallway, serving as a distinctive accent against a light wall or amidst other geometric vintage forms. It can be paired with furniture with simple 1970s lines or used to create contrast within a contemporary neutral palette. Consider combining it with other plastic, glass, or metal details—such as a low console, rounded mirrors, or op-art graphics—to highlight its space age roots and lend the arrangement a subtle, collectible edge.
