AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Geometric Vintage Glass and Brass Ceiling Light (70s/80s)

Light up your space with this magnificent mid-to-late 20th-century lighting piece, which harmoniously fuses the precise geometry of Mid-Century Modern movement with the chromatic richness and timeless charm of Tiffany Revival and Art Deco styles.

This ceiling light (wall/desk) stands out for its sophisticated facet dome-shaped kaleidoscopic shade, meticulously hand-assembled along polished brass structural rails.

Its striking architecture combines flat transparent glass panels — ensuring a clean, bright diffusion of light — with geometrically positioned sections of colored glass in vibrant emerald green, amber, and red hues.

Note a small defect that isn’t noticeable once placed; please see the last photo.

I do not ship outside Europe

It will be packed with great care and shipped with tracking. The tracking will be updated on your Catawiki purchase page; please check regularly to prevent the package from being returned to me, in which case the buyer will be responsible for the cost of any additional shipping.

Set on an octagonal metal base that gives great stability and presence, the piece completely transforms when lit, projecting a stunning concentric pattern of colored rays onto surrounding surfaces. ~

Due to its structural complexity and strong nostalgic appeal, the design recalls the renowned European studio craftsmanship of the 1970s and 1980s, establishing itself as an unusual decorative piece, full of personality and highly valued by retro décor enthusiasts.
