Art Deco, the defining design movement of the 1920s and 1930s, is renowned for its bold geometric patterns, opulent materials, and streamlined aesthetics. Marking the first half of the 20th century through its pursuit of both elegance and modernity. With its seamless blend of artistry and functionality, the style reflects an era of glamour, innovation, and refined craftsmanship.

Standing as evidence of the inventiveness and timeless glamour of Art Deco is this pair of wall lights. These pieces were designed to provide a sleek and dynamic elegance that symbolised the era’s rich cultural scene in France. The pairing of brass and frosted glass creates a luxurious impression, where the materials’ qualities enhance each other greatly. The stylised structures’ well-thought-out simplicity is brilliant, with perfect symmetry that gets even more pronounced when the light is on. Thanks to the frosted glass, the glow is distributed evenly when switched on. Besides its atmospheric light and disciplined, functionalist design, this wall lamp pair is a statement that draws the eye despite its simplicity. Since the two materials dictate the look, much attention was paid to quality and to the craftsmanship that united them into their shape. While frosted glass has been around since the 16th century, 20th century designers in Europe often used the material in combination with brass to create a timelessly modern look.


This pair of Art Deco lights subtly commands attention, adding a layer of elegance and sophistication to any room. They showcase the qualities of the iconic movement with a harmonious blend of materials, geometric intricacy, and functionality, making these lamps just as deserving of the status of decorative elements.
