Carlo Forcolini for Artemide Icaro Wall Lights Italy 1980s

About the Item

This pair of **Icaro wall lights**, designed by **Carlo Forcolini** for **Artemide** in the 1980s, showcases a bold and sculptural approach to modern Italian lighting design. Named after the mythological figure Icarus, these striking fixtures embody Forcolini’s signature blend of functionality, theatricality, and visual tension. Crafted in Italy, the Icaro lights feature a dynamic composition of geometric forms—metallic arm and opaque glass diffusers that project both direct and ambient light. The interplay of industrial materials with soft illumination creates a dramatic, space-age aesthetic that is both iconic and timeless. Their architectural presence makes them ideal statement pieces in contemporary interiors, whether used in a hallway, living space, or as bedside lighting. Produced by Artemide, one of Italy’s most celebrated lighting manufacturers, these wall lights reflect the avant-garde spirit of 1980s design, where form and innovation were seamlessly intertwined. Retaining their original finish and in excellent vintage condition, they are both collectible and functional. A rare opportunity to own authentic postmodern design by one of Italy’s leading designers, these Icaro wall lights remain a compelling choice for enthusiasts of radical Italian design and high-concept lighting.
