About the Item

Elegant set of vintage Space Age wall sconces designed and manufactured by ERCO in Germany, circa 1970s. A refined example of European architectural lighting from the period, each sconce features a minimal cylindrical body in lacquered white metal, with a black interior reflector and a clean, futuristic silhouette. The design provides double-direction light (up down), creating sharp light beams that enhance architectural lines—an effect strongly associated with late-1960s/1970s Space Age interiors, where geometry, light projection and optical contrast defined the ambience. A pure functionalist aesthetic with a quietly futuristic spirit: graphic when lit, discreet when off. Up to 10 pairs are available, making them an ideal solution for Space Age-inspired projects, boutique hotels, galleries, or any large interior requiring a coherent lighting language. Dimensions Approx. 40 × 18 × 12 cm each (15.7 × 7 × 4.7 in) Materials Lacquered metal (white exterior / black interior) Period Circa 1970s Style Space Age, Mid-Century Modern, Minimalist, Architectural Condition Excellent vintage condition. Minor wear consistent with age and use. Fully functional. Notes ERCO is internationally recognized for its architectural lighting innovation since the mid-20th century. This model reflects the futuristic, geometric approach typical of the 1970s, aligning naturally with Space Age lighting by designers such as Martinelli, Staff Leuchten or Kaiser Leuchten.
