Description
The mid-20th century brought about a revolution in design throughout Europe, where function and form merged in the most intriguing ways. One such example of this era’s creativity is this pair of exceptionally unique and large wall lamps. This pair was created during a period when creativity knew no bounds, and designers were free to explore new horizons in crafting captivating lighting fixtures.
While showcasing the masterful skills of their maker, this pair of torch-like wall lamps stands as bold and unapologetic proof of originality. Torch lights, a popular style choice during the mid-20th century, are known for their upward-facing bodies that create dramatic lighting. Often used in modernist interiors, they were crafted not only for function, but also to serve as sculptural art pieces. This statement can not be more true for this unforgettable pair. With their elongated, slender stems, these lamps command attention in any space through their geometric elements. The brass construction allows for a rich, warm glow, enhancing the light they emit while exuding a sense of effortless sophistication. Not only this, but the spherical glass shades perfectly complete the look. This iconic mix of materials, highlighted by the detailing found at the top of the pieces, proves why the pairing of brass and glass was preferred by lighting designers of the time. Every aspect of this pair, from the daring dimensions to the unique proportions set them apart from most wall lamps, while maintaining their versatility and undeniable beauty.
These wall lights embody the spirit of 1960s design, with their functional character as well as charming and luxurious appearance. Whether placed in a hallway, or foyer, this pair has the power to truly transform an average space into a display of taste.
