About the Item

This exquisite sconce, designed by the renowned Japanese lighting designer Motoko Ishii for Staff Leuchten, is a beautiful example of mid-century modern lighting design. Produced in Germany during the 1960s, this piece highlights Ishii’s mastery of blending form and function, and it is a rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. The sconce features a clear glass sphere with a striking half-chromed coating, giving it a unique reflective quality while still allowing light to shine through. The glass is mounted on a sleek chromed metal cylinder, which complements the overall design and creates a seamless, modern look. When illuminated, the combination of clear glass and chrome offers a stunning lighting effect, with a soft glow emanating from the uncoated portion while the chromed part reflects light and surrounding elements. Perfect for any mid-century or contemporary space, this sconce adds both functional lighting and an eye-catching decorative element. Its minimalist yet bold design makes it ideal for a variety of settings, whether placed in a living room, bedroom, or hallway. This high-quality piece of design history is a prime example of Motoko Ishii’s innovative approach to lighting and craftsmanship during her time at Staff Leuchten.
