In Europe, during the 1950s, pieces were designed with the goal of serving generations to come. This was made possible by an emphasis on the creation of timeless designs that would suit the shifting tastes of the future. Working with high quality materials, and focusing on functionality, were some of the most important pillars of the design world.

This metal wall lamp creates an effortless look in a variety of spaces with diverse functions, evoking quiet elegance and a peaceful atmosphere. Anchored to the wall by a slim brass wall plate, the extendable tubular brass frame allows the light to move for free adjustment. With the ability to fold it back neatly against the wall, the design truly carries the mid-century modern principle on the importance of form and functionality. At the end of the sleek and shiny brass frame, the diabolo-shaped double bulb cover provides a wide opening for the light to escape. The switch, located on the finely-formed brass ring that joins the two cones of the shade, also carries a minimalistic presence. The beige lacquered shade has a playful pierced lining of stars in its upper and lower sections, serving a graceful, decorative role. This sentimental detail quietly recalls memories of childhood, the boundless reach of imagination that takes off in the comfort of bedtime stories, while snuggling up and reading together under the mellow gleam of this lamp.

Wall lamps are not only functional sources of light, but also anchoring pieces in interior design. This particular brass wall lamp embodies a minimalist aesthetic and can be used to create a mindful ambiance for work, study or leisure purposes. It stands as both a functional addition to the home as well as a sentimental sculptural artifact of forms, essential in modern design.
