Pair of Modernist Chromed Metal Wall Lamps, France 20th Century

About the Item

This pair of modernist wall lights, crafted in France during the 20th century, exemplifies the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of the era. They feature a striking combination of chrome-plated metal and white lacquered finishes, creating a refined, clean look that reflects the period's focus on simplicity and functionality. Crafted from chromed metal, these wall lights boast a striking aesthetic that is based on the geometric shapes along with symmetric forms. With their unique shape that is cut in half, the lights feature plenty of depth. The patinated chrome offers a sense of sophistication, while the matte white lacquer adds a soft contrast, ensuring the design remains visually balanced and restrained. Each light is anchored to the wall by an elegant arc-shaped bracket. The bracket, seamlessly curved, supports the main body of the light while offering an organic flow that echoes the natural forms often celebrated in mid-century design. The interplay between the metal elements and the white lacquered surface further emphasizes the era's embrace of geometric purity and forward-thinking materials. These wall lamps are not only embodiments of simplicity and elegance, showcasing a design ethos that continues to captivate admirers today, but also illustrate how minimalist design can be so ingenious and expressive at the same time. The pairing of form and function encapsulates the best of mid-century modernism, where even the most utilitarian objects were designed to be aesthetically pleasing and harmoniously integrated into their surroundings.

By Atelier Jean Perzel
Located in Utrecht, NL
From 1920 to 1939, Art Deco revolutionized 20th century architecture and design. The period also gave birth to the Jean Perzel company, which would also make its mark on the world of lighting and design. Jean Perzel’s light fixtures and furniture in both glass and bronze later adorned the world’s most prestigious addresses… from the King’s Court in Belgium to the home of Henry Ford as well as the Rothschild’s family residence. He also conceived the lighting for the League of Nations in Geneva, the Luxembourg Cathedral, the Embassy of Canada at Lahaye, and even the French cruise ship Normandie. Like all wall lights from the Atelier, this wall light was designed and handcrafted in their workshop located in the heart of Paris.
