Illuminated Brutalist Wall Sculpture by Akikaze for Poliarte, Italy 1970s

This high-quality Italian wall-mounted light sculpture was designed by Akikaze for Poliarte in 1970. The title 'Rottura Spaziale' refers to its radical brutalist design, inspired by visionary urban megastructures and film set designs of the era. This rare piece is from early production and features original coloured Murano glass bars in orange and coral tones. The impressive panel is made from cast aluminium and the heavy illuminated wall relief is supported by a solid steel frame. The rear side has cutouts for wall mounting. It features a total of 10 light sources that can be dimmed continuously to create different lighting moods. The original electrical components are fully functional and it features the original switch with dimmer function. There are 10 bulb sockets for E14 bulbs (15 W each) connected in series. An outstanding example of brutalist Italian design in very good original condition.
