About the Item

Designed and produced in the 1950s by the renowned French lighting manufacturer Arlus, this elegant wall lamp is a refined example of mid-century modern design. The piece features a dual wall-mounted system that supports a lacquered black aluminum frame. The light source is housed within a black metal reflector, which diffuses illumination through a white Perspex diffuser, creating a soft and pleasant glow. Polished chrome accents enhance the composition, adding a sophisticated contrast to the dark structure. One of its key features is the counterweight system, allowing the height of the lamp to be adjusted easily to suit different lighting needs or room settings. This versatile piece works beautifully in various interiors—whether placed beside a bed, in a reading nook, or above a desk. With its timeless silhouette and functional elegance, this lamp is a quintessential vintage addition to any thoughtfully designed space. The fixture requires 3 E27 bulbs.
