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.

Vesta Postmodern Glass Sconce Pair for VeArt by Ernesto Gismondi C 1990
By Artemide, VeArt, Ernesto Gismondi
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.
