A refined pair of postmodern wall lamps from the late 1980s to early 1990s, showcasing a sophisticated interplay between material and architectural form. Each lamp features a sharply contoured black geometric shade mounted on a sculptural triangular lucite (acrylic) base with beautifully polished, green-tinted edges — a hallmark of high-quality acrylic craftsmanship from this era.
These lamps do not merely illuminate; they create atmosphere. The design casts a beautiful, clean uplight, while the lucite base diffuses a subtle turquoise glow along the sides as light passes through the tinted acrylic. This unique effect enhances depth, adds visual softness, and transforms the lamps into ambient sculptural objects both lit and unlit.
Condition
Both pieces are preserved in excellent vintage condition, thoroughly cleaned and ready for installation. The lucite remains clear and luminous, and the black shades maintain their deep matte finish.

– 80s/90s design revival
– curated residential or boutique commercial interiors
Their sculptural presence, combined with the warm uplight and turquoise side glow, makes them exceptional statement pieces.
A rare opportunity to acquire a visually impactful, highly atmospheric pair that beautifully embodies the expressive spirit of late-20th-century design.
