This striking pair of 1960s Italian space age wall sconces by Veca showcases the bold architectural geometric mastery that defined high-end mid-century modern lighting design. Each fixture features a sophisticated tiered structure composed of three square glass plates of varying dimensions, arranged to form a dynamic pyramidal profile. The design utilizes a brilliant juxtaposition of glass styles, layering a large transparent clear glass base with a middle panel of smoky, tinted glass, and topping the composition with a smaller frosted glass plate that cleverly diffuses the light source. These substantial, thick-cut plates feature polished, subtly beveled edges that catch and refract illumination beautifully, suspended along a sleek chrome-plated steel frame and central cylindrical spacers. The industrial-forward construction features a curved chrome backplate designed to mount flush to the wall, seamlessly housing a single E27 screw-in bulb socket. The layered glass panels are secured tightly by minimal chrome threaded cap nuts on the face of the fixture, creating an overlapping floating effect characteristic of the space age era. When illuminated, the light filters sequentially through the frosted, smoky, and clear geometric glass layers, casting a dramatic architectural glow with soft, ambient diffusion to the front and crisp geometric shadows along the wall. This iconic design echoes the structural vocabulary found in high-end Italian lighting manufactured throughout the 1960s and 1970s, making them highly sought-after statements for modernists and vintage design enthusiasts alike. Both wall sconces are in vintage condition and retain a wonderful structural integrity. The heavy glass plates are beautifully preserved, showing very small chips on the corners visible on the photos.
