Opal glass and burnished metal wall light, 1960s

Opal glass and burnished metal wall light, 1960s

This wall light features a soft, enveloping design, featuring a large hemispherical dome in glossy white opal glass suspended on an arched burnished metal structure.

The light is diffused evenly by the main glass and further filtered by the lower diffuser in transparent pressed glass, with a grid pattern, creating a more textured and slightly decorative lighting effect.

The simple yet elegant structure, with a curved arm and minimal wall mount, is typical of Italian production from the 1960s, where functionality and formal research coexist in perfect harmony.

Materials: Opal glass, pressed glass, burnished metal
Period: 1960s
Condition: Good overall condition, with normal signs of aging on the metal
