1970s Space Age Set of Two Elio Martinelli Acrylic and Steel Bolla Wall Sconces

About the Item

Space Age set of 2 wall or ceiling lights 'Bolla'. Designed in 1965 by Elio Martinelli, they are in good condition and equipped with a round neon, but they can easily be adapted for a regular bulb. The wall lights are also usable as ceiling lights. The Bolla Wall Lights by Elio Martinelli showcase a captivating blend of futuristic aesthetics and functionality. The lights feature a square design with a sleek and minimalist appearance, characteristic of the Space Age era. Crafted with high-quality materials, these wall lights exude a sense of modernity and elegance. The Bolla Wall Lights incorporate a combination of metal and translucent acrylic, creating a visually striking contrast. The metal parts, made of polished aluminum, add a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The centerpiece of these lights is the translucent acrylic diffuser, which gently disperses the light emitted from within. The diffuser's shape and curvature create a soft and ambient illumination, enhancing the atmospheric appeal of any space. The light emitted by the Bolla Wall Lights casts intriguing shadows and patterns on the surrounding walls, adding an artistic dimension to the overall lighting experience. The two wall lights can be used for symmetrical placement in a room or the option to create a balanced visual effect by installing them in separate areas. These versatile fixtures provide flexibility in their placement and adapt to different interior design preferences. As iconic examples of Space Age design, the Bolla Wall Lights by Elio Martinelli capture the spirit of the 1960s and remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern style. Their timeless appeal and innovative design make them a statement piece that adds a touch of retro-futuristic charm to any space.
