Space Age Sconce Pair in the style of Max Sauze C. 1960s-1970s

About the Item

A striking embodiment of Space Age design, this pair of sculptural chrome sconces from the 1970s captures the era’s fascination with futurism, geometric abstraction, and industrial materials. Reminiscent of the high-tech aesthetics of the Space Race, these wall lights are defined by bold, curvilinear forms and reflective surfaces, evoking the sleek styling of rocket-era architecture and avant-garde interiors. Each sconce features a highly polished chrome structure composed of a twisting metal sheet that wraps around a central reflective globe, creating an interplay of light, reflection, and shadow. This dynamic composition enhances their sculptural presence, making them not only functional lighting pieces but also striking decorative elements. The diffused glow produced by the spherical bulb interacts beautifully with the mirrored surfaces, reminiscent of space capsules, cosmic orbs, and retro-futuristic aesthetics. Designed to complement a range of modernist, industrial, or Space Age interiors, these sconces are ideal for hallways, entryways, or statement lighting in a contemporary setting. Their chrome-plated construction reflects surrounding colors and textures, allowing them to blend seamlessly with both minimalist and maximalist design schemes.
