Jill Wall Light – Italian Design Arteluce 1980 – Brass & Opaline Glass
Elegant and resolutely sculptural, this wall light model “Jill”, published by Arteluce, is part of the great tradition of Italian design where light becomes matter. The composition rests on a subtle balance between geometric tension and organic softness: a horizontal arm in polished brass supports a diffuser in opaline glass with floating contours, seemingly suspended in space. ✦ DESIGN The “Jill” model perfectly illustrates this pivotal period of Italian design where function gives way to a controlled sculptural presence. The mirror brass captures and reflects its environment, creating a constant dialogue with the architecture. The opaline glass diffuses enveloping light, without direct luminous points. The horizontal silhouette evokes a line in suspension, almost kinetic. This piece transcends its use to become a fully-fledged element of interior architecture. ✦ MATERIALS Structure: polished brass. Diffuser: satin opaline glass. ✦ DIMENSIONS Width: 30 cm. Height: 20 cm. Depth: 20 cm. Ideal proportions for standalone installation. ✦ CONDITION Very good original condition. Diffuser in perfect condition. This wall light naturally finds its place in: • an architecturally designed entrance. • a high-end minimalist living room. • a suite or corridor of a private hotel. • Particularly remarkable in symmetrical installation.
