Description from the seller

Pair of "Mesmeri" Chrome Wall Sconces by Éric Solé for Artemide - Modern Italian Design (2)

Elevate your interior space with this striking pair of authentic "Mesmeri" wall sconces, designed by the acclaimed French designer Éric Solé for Artemide.

The fluid, continuous ribbon geometry of the body neatly conceals the light source while reflecting the emitted glow primarily upwards and softly downwards, opening up the light distribution throughout the entire space. The brilliant mirror-chrome finish acts as a stunning sculptural element even when switched off, capturing reflections and light play from its surrounding environment. A true modern masterpiece of Italian lighting design, it seamlessly integrates into contemporary, minimalist, or mid-century-inspired spaces.

About the Designer: Éric Solé (1960–2015)

Born in Paris in 1960, French designer Éric Solé began his career focusing on technical research—exploring principles of transformation, folding chairs, office lighting, and structural material properties. His deep fascination with lighting design grew from the constant evolution of raw materials, new technologies, and evolving bulb shapes. Solé believed that this rapid innovation made it impossible to predict the future form of a luminaire, allowing for endless creative freedom.

His design philosophy is beautifully captured in his own words:

"A beautiful lamp should be like a living object, transforming itself when lit. It must talk to us, illuminate us, and bring comfort when it is dark."

The Mesmeri wall sconce—created for Artemide in 2005—is the purest expression of this magic. Its extraordinary aesthetic and technical design earned global acclaim, winning both the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Product Design Award in 2006. Solé passed away in Spain on June 20, 2015, leaving behind a lasting legacy in modern lighting history.
