Space Star Wall Sconce
This wall lamp, produced by Massive Belgium in the 1970s, is a quintessential example of Space Age design—a movement inspired by the excitement and optimism of the space race era. The lamp combines sleek chrome-plated metal with amber glass accents, reflecting the futuristic aesthetic that defined the period. The layered glass shade, with its intricate structure, not only diffuses light but also creates a dynamic interplay of shadows and reflections, reminiscent of the cosmic themes that influenced design during this time.
Space Age design was characterised by its embrace of new materials and a bold departure from traditional forms, favouring smooth lines, bright colours, and innovative uses of plastic and metal. This lamp exemplifies these principles, offering both functionality and a distinct visual appeal that captures the forward-looking spirit of the 1970s.
