A striking example of postwar French modernism, this adjustable twin-arm tubular wall sconce by Jean René Caillette embodies the designer’s commitment to purity of form and functional elegance. Executed in black enameled steel with clean tubular lines and swiveling and pivoting shades, the sconce allows for directional light adjustment, offering both sculptural presence and practical versatility. Its minimalist yet refined aesthetic reflects Caillette’s broader body of work—innovative, restrained, and deeply attuned to modern living.
