1970s Motoko Ishii Opaline Glass Double Sconce for Staff Leuchten.
Executed in brass-plated metal and delicate blown opaline glass that reveals a soft pearlescent sheen when unlit. Produced in Germany in the 1960s and 1970s and designed by Japanese lighting pioneer Motoko Ishii; this double wall light is among her refined mid-century designs produced by German manufacturer Staff Leuchten. The glass casts a pleasant warm glow that is ideal for powder rooms and interiors in need of soft indirect lighting.
