Amazing pair of mid-century “light ball” wall or ceiling lamps in vibrant red enameled metal and opaline glass. These iconic flush mount lights were designed by achille castiglioni and manufactured in italy by flos during the 1970s. Fully original and in fabulous vintage condition, with no chips or cracks. These stylish lights stand out for the bold contrast between the glossy red enameled metal structure and the superb quality opaline glass diffusers. The spherical form creates a beautifully balanced composition, while the soft, diffused glow they emit when lit is warm and inviting. Designed to be mounted either on the wall or ceiling, this versatile pair works perfectly as a statement installation or to create a striking architectural rhythm within a space. Professionally wired and tested, compatible with us and eu/uk standards. Each lamp uses a single e27 light bulb. A gorgeous and versatile pair, ideal to elevate a mid-century modern or contemporary interior with a touch of iconic italian design.
