Designed by Tito Agnoli in 1956 and manufactured by O-Luce, these wall lamps are a refined example of Italian modernist lighting.
Their slender cylindrical shades, finished in black and white lacquered metal, are supported by elegant brass fittings. The contrast between the dark metal and warm brass, together with the simplicity of their geometric forms, creates a sophisticated and timeless composition.
Compact and understated, they perfectly embody the functional elegance and technical ingenuity of Italian design in the 1950s.
