Large Mid-Century Modern Pale Grey Bathroom Sconce by Sigvard Bernadotte

A desirable Mid-Century Modern double porcelain wall sconce for bathroom use, produced by IFÖ, Sweden, in the 1950s. This exceptional example stands out for its beautifully preserved pale grey porcelain base, an unusually subtle and sought-after color, paired with two softly diffusing opaline glass shades. This sconce was designed by Sigvard Bernadotte, former Prince of Sweden and one of Scandinavia’s most influential industrial designers. Bernadotte’s work is celebrated for its refined balance between functionality and beauty, and his designs are represented in museum collections worldwide. These wall lights perfectly reflect his philosophy—an everyday object elevated through thoughtful form, proportion, and material. With its clean lines, harmonious color palette, and timeless silhouette, the lamp offers a distinctly modern presence while remaining true to its mid-century origins. Ideal for bathrooms, hallways, or accent lighting, it delivers both elegance and practical illumination.
