Doria Space Age Wall Lights Set of 2, Chrome, 1970

This exceptional pair of wall lights by Doria combines sculptural design with the futuristic visual language of the Space Age. The striking, symmetrically designed lights made of chrome-plated metal impress with their dynamically curved contours, precise edges, and extraordinary three-dimensional effect. A distinctive 1970s design that impressively combines lighting and wall art. The two wall lights are in excellent condition. The chrome-plated surfaces show a beautiful, intense shine and emphasize the high-quality craftsmanship. The clean lines and reflective surfaces are excellently showcased. Particularly appealing is the sophisticated construction of the lights. Starting from a striking vertical central axis, four gently curved surfaces unfold, tapering into wing-like side elements. The combination of sharply defined edges and flowing transitions gives the lights an almost architectural appearance. Their shape is reminiscent of futuristic spacecraft and the experimental aesthetics of the Space Age. The indirect light emission enhances the sculptural character. When switched on, warm reflections of light are created on the wall above and below the chrome bodies. The interplay of reflective metal and soft backlighting creates an atmospheric lighting effect. Even when switched off, the lights appear as independent wall objects. Doria Leuchten was founded in Germany in 1945 and developed into a renowned manufacturer of high-quality designer lighting in the following decades. Especially during the 1960s and 1970s, the company gained international recognition for its innovative lights made of glass, chrome, and metal. The designs were characterized by high-quality materials, sophisticated craftsmanship, and a distinctive, often sculptural visual language. Doria worked with, among others, the prominent German industrial designer Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg, who developed various lighting series for the company, and this design is attributed to him.
