Description from the seller

Pair of Space Age wall lamps in the Goffredo Reggiani style – Chrome steel – Italy, 1970s attributed to Goffredo Regiani

Splendid and iconic pair of wall lamps (appliques) in full Space Age style, dating from the 1970s and attributable to the production and aesthetic line of the famous Italian designer Goffredo Reggiani. These pieces are distinguished by their minimalist and sculptural design: a heavily chrome cylindrical metal tubular structure with mirror finish, interrupted by elegant geometric and sinuous cutouts that leave the bulbs exposed. The shape allows dynamic light diffusion, creating a striking play of reflections and Op Art contrasts on the metal surfaces, typical of post-war Italian lighting avant-garde. Each applique is prepared to host two light points (socket E14 or E27, check and insert the correct one based on the white ceramic socket visible in the photo), ideal if used with chrome-rimmed bulbs to accentuate the futuristic aesthetic of the era. The pieces integrate superbly both in vintage Mid-Century Modern environments and in contemporary eclectic interior design contexts.

Period: 1970s
Country of origin: Italy
Material: Chrome steel / mirrored metal, ceramic socket

Conditions:
The items are presented in good overall vintage condition. The chrome retains a vibrant shine with a slight, charming patina of time consistent with age and use. [Optional note: the electrical wiring is original to the period and, although functional, a check is recommended before final wall installation. Photos are an integral part of the description and show the actual details of the objects. Tracked shipping and careful professional packing.]
