Italian Modernist Anvia Sconces by J.J.M. Hoogervorst C, 1960s

About the Item

A striking set of three Anvia wall sconces, these pieces were designed by J.J.M. Hoogervorst, a notable figure in Dutch modernism celebrated for his functional yet sculptural lighting designs. Crafted in the 1950s-60s, each sconce boasts a sleek, minimalist metal structure finished in a refined combination of beige and black, effortlessly complementing a variety of mid-century or contemporary interiors. The bidirectional lighting creates a soft, ambient glow, while perforated detailing adds visual intrigue through subtle patterns of light and shadow. Fully restored and rewired for both LED and incandescent bulbs, these fixtures are ready for immediate use and offer a sophisticated accent to living spaces, hallways, or entryways. Their geometric silhouette also makes them a wonderful pairing with Bauhaus-inspired metal furnishings, enhancing the modernist aesthetic of any interior.

Vesta Postmodern Glass Sconce Pair for VeArt by Ernesto Gismondi C 1990
By Ernesto Gismondi, VeArt, Artemide
Located in Brooklyn, NY
A rare pair of postmodern Italian wall sconces, the Vesta model was designed by Ernesto Gismondi for VeArt around 1990, capturing the bold experimentation of late 20th-century Italian lighting design. These striking fixtures combine mixed materials, featuring a clear and frosted Murano glass shade, elegantly held by a sculptural steel and brass bracket. The contrast between the delicate hand-blown glass and the industrial strength of metal creates a dynamic interplay of light and form. Designed for both aesthetic appeal and functionality, the sconces are wall-mounted with an integrated E27 socket, ensuring compatibility with European and US wiring standards. VeArt, founded in 1965 by Sergio Billiotti and Ludovico Diaz De Santillana, was a key innovator in Venetian glass lighting...
