ABOUT PRODUCTID 44357
This wall sconce designed by Claus Bolby for Cebo Industri is a notable example of Danish 1970s lighting design, combining acrylic and metal in a dynamic, geometric composition. The modular construction features fan-shaped, radiating rods in warm, translucent amber yellow and smoky grey acrylic, each individually mounted on a concealed metal frame. The rods vary in length and are arranged at alternating angles, creating a sculptural, Brutalist and Space Age-inspired effect. The glossy, glass-like acrylic surface enhances light diffusion, and the lamp is fitted for an E14 bulb. The sconce measures 37 cm in height and 16 cm in width. Its condition is classified as good, with subtle signs of age and a slight patina—especially on the grey elements—but no major chips or cracks.The form of this sconce speaks in the language of the 1970s—a time when lighting was expected to be as decorative as it was functional. Acrylic, the material of the future, is treated here with a glass-like sensibility, emphasizing interplay between light and shadow. Amber and grey hues intermingle, evoking the era’s modernist fascination with the cosmos, while every beam of light refracted through the rods creates a graphic mosaic on the wall. This is the voice of an epoch unafraid of experiment, one that appreciated sculptural presence in everyday objects.This sconce could be paired with furniture featuring clean lines—such as low teak sideboards or minimalist shelving—to accentuate its decorative impact. It would suit a mid-century modern, eclectic, or Space Age-inspired living room. Combining it with other acrylic or glass lamps, or with bold accent pieces and geometric patterns, would highlight its
