Elegant pair of Artemide Shogun Parete wall lamps designed by Mario Botta for Artemide, Milano, Italy in 1980s. Marked on the frame. Mario Botta is a postmodern Swiss architect and designer, renowned for his striking geometric forms.
Artemide is a Italian manufacturer founded by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza in 1960. The design of the lamp is based upon the form of a samurai’s visor. The two perforated silver enameled steel sheet shades are adjustable, which creates a great light / shadow effect.
Production of the Shogun wall sconces, designed by Mario Botta for Artemide in the 1980s, was limited to that decade. Each wall sconce bears the manufacturer’s stamp on the base. The wall sconce has been out of production since the late 1980s and is now only available as a vintage original.
