ABOUT PRODUCTID 15817
Produced in Germany in the 1970s, this wall sconce exemplifies geometric vintage design with its substantial Bakelite base and a square pressed glass shade. The cool, transparent glass features a glossy, highly decorative relief pattern of elongated oval forms radiating from a central point—creating a dramatic visual effect reminiscent of a floral burst or stylized sunburst. Both height and width measure 23 cm, with a depth of 10 cm. The construction combines striking light diffusion with a robust presence thanks to the solid Bakelite foundation. The lamp remains in very good condition, free from visible damage or discoloration, showing only minimal, age-appropriate signs of use.This sconce recalls the spirit of the ‘70s—a decade when bold patterns and innovative materials contributed to the distinct rhythm of home interiors. The graphic texture of the glass shade reflects light like an urban mosaic, while the geometric order of the form seems to tell a story of the era’s fascination with clarity and visual strength. Each glint on the relief surface is a quiet echo of a time when ornament and utility walked side by side, shaping design identities still recognizable today.This sconce can be used in interiors that appreciate a balance of retro and contemporary features. It would pair well against raw or textured wall surfaces—be they concrete, painted brick, or artisan plaster—and alongside mid-century furniture, soft fabrics, or geometric accents. It could be juxtaposed with minimalist details or, alternatively, set within a bolder, eclectic decor scheme with colored glass or vintage prints to highlight both its collector’s pedigree and the graphic power of the glass ornament.Technically, the lamp is designed for a standard E27 bulb. No additional technical requirements; standard socket enables easy light source changes.
