Italian mid-century lighting has the characteristic to be able to harmonise with many styles, both historic and contemporary. When looking for artisanal beauty, there’s one country that gets it right every time. To quote Toma Clark-Haines, “Lighting is the jewellery of the room and sets the vibe of a space. When it comes to lighting, it’s got to be Italian.”
What makes these wall lights so remarkable is their unique proportions and ability to integrate into diverse interior settings. To create a seamless look, the design makes it feel like each lamp blends into the wall allowing for a neat optical effect, creating a sense of magnetism. Brass, a quintessential material in mid-century modern design, constitutes the lamps’ backplates and structures, providing a durable foundation. The curved shades are delicately crafted from opal glass to soften the glow of the light emitted, casting a warm and inviting ambience.
Sconces and wall lamps are a timeless type of lighting fixture that can easily elevate their surroundings. These fixtures have been in use for centuries, and never go out of style. This is especially true for mid-century glass and brass models - like this set.
