AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of wall lamps in enameled metal, Italy, 1960s. Iconic "Eyeball" in Space Age style were made of painted metal in mustard or ochre yellow, featuring a distinctive adjustable spherical structure. The design includes a glossy chrome finish on both the central band of the globe and the support base.
They are designed to be mounted on the wall but can be hung from a cable and/or suitable electrical wire. Intense mustard color and a truly original shape. Striking in an atmosphere with an unconventional vibe.
They present two imperfections on one housing: a thin scratch and a small dent as shown in the photo. Otherwise they are perfect: the enamel is glossy and there are no traces of oxidation as shown in the photo.
