Each wall light features a sculptural glossy red trumpet-shaped body, topped by a substantial two-part clear glass shade. The moulded glass has a geometric grid texture with ribbed edges, producing attractive reflections and giving the lights a distinctly futuristic character.

The lamps are supported by curved U-shaped metal arms attached to rectangular wall plates. The combination of bold primary colour, geometric pressed glass, chrome and exaggerated forms is characteristic of Space Age and Pop-era European lighting.

These would work particularly well as bedside wall lights, on either side of a mirror, or as statement lighting in a Mid-Century Modern, Space Age or eclectic interior.

Equipped with E14 light bulb sockets.
