About the Item
The best qualities of European mid-century designers’ light fixtures are most often their atmospheric light and disciplined, functionalist execution, perfected by the inclusion of unique design elements. Exemplified by this wall lamp, these qualities are not only timeless, but also ever so eye-catching.

The design has an elegant airiness to it, making it a unique piece to elevate any interior. This piece is a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, quirky and functional, and manages a clean, almost minimalist look.
Mid-century modern lighting design from Europe continues to inspire contemporary lighting fixtures, with many designers drawing inspiration from this era's simple and unique designs.
