The 1960s Space Age Murano Glass and Steel wall sconces by Mazzega are an iconic fusion of futuristic design and Italian glassmaking artistry. Mazzega, renowned for its innovative use of Murano glass, created these pieces with a bold, sculptural aesthetic that reflects the forward-thinking Space Age sensibilities of the 1960s. Each sconce is composed of hand-blown Murano glass elements shaped into stylized floral petal forms, capturing both organic beauty and futuristic flair. The petals are made of thick, textured glass, featuring a combination of clear, frosted and white colored glass, such as soft whites or pale amber tones. The glass has a slightly translucent quality, allowing light to filter through, creating a warm, glowing effect when illuminated. The irregularities and slight undulations in the hand-crafted glass add to the piece’s organic appeal, making each sconce unique. These floral glass components are mounted on sleek, polished steel backplates, which provide a striking contrast to the delicate nature of the glass. The steel adds a sense of modernity and precision, aligning with the Space Age design movement’s emphasis on innovative materials and technology. The juxtaposition of smooth, industrial steel with the intricate, naturalistic glass floral forms creates a dynamic tension that defines these sconces. The overall effect is one of bold elegance, with the glass flowers appearing almost as if they are floating or blooming against the wall, while the steel structure grounds the design in a sleek, modern framework. These Mazzega sconces are not only functional lighting fixtures but also sculptural art pieces, embodying the futuristic optimism and creative experimentation of the 1960s Space Age aesthetic. They are in working order and in good condition overall.
