Set of three wall appliques 'Luna/Mezzaluna' designed by Bruno Gecchelin for Skipper, with brass curved bodies and powder-coated metal in white and black, Italian design from the 1960s, in good vintage condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
Set of three wall sconces "Luna/Mezzaluna" – Curved brass and lacquered metal – Italian design from the 1970s/1980s, an elegant trio of wall-mounted sconces. Exemplars of the highest quality that perfectly embody the refined taste, geometric attention, and material research typical of late 20th-century Italian designer design. The lamps feature a sculptural and elegant silhouette, playing on the contrast of forms and finishes. The main body consists of a crescent-shaped (or semicircular) metal diffuser, designed to shield the light source and project a warm, evocative indirect light onto the wall.
The diffuser is supported by a sinuous curved brass tubular arm, creating a dynamic of smooth, clean curves in space. The wall block is finished with a circular base (in coordinating tone). The lot includes 3 units:
2 wall sconces with crescent-shaped diffuser and shade lacquered in white, embellished with polished brass details.
1 wall sconce with crescent-shaped diffuser and shade in deep black, characterized by an elegant chromatic contrast with the arm and brass details.
(Note: This color combination (2 white and 1 black, or vice versa depending on installation) allows for visually asymmetric and highly scenographic effects in open-plan spaces, corridors, or living zones).
