Pair of large patinated metal wall sconces by Mattia Bonetti 2009

Superb pair of wall lights by Mattia Bonetti, commissioned by the Hôtel Cristal in Paris in 2009. The structure is made of patinated metal resembling aged bronze, with vinyl lampshades imitating crystal. They are adjustable and can rotate on their axis. These wall lights are emblematic of Mattia Bonetti's commitment to an avant-garde, romantic style that is always very decorative. Fully restored, they are in exceptional condition. The price is for a pair. We have a total of four wall lights, so 2 pairs. Mattia Bonetti was born in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1952, and trained at the Centro Scolastico Industrie Artistiche in Lugano. He moved to Paris in 1972 and worked as a consultant, textile designer, and art photographer before starting to create furniture in 1979 with Élisabeth Garouste. His work spans a wide spectrum, from award-winning furniture design to interior architecture projects. In 1987, he created the logo and visual identity for Christian Lacroix, including his showroom and boutiques. 2009 was probably his most prolific year, with the complete redesign of the Hôtel Cristal on the Champs Elysées in Paris and the redesign of the Mark Hotel in New York in partnership with Jacques Grange.
