A stunning pair of wall sconces from Verner Panton’s iconic “Fun” series, featuring cascading strands of natural mother-of-pearl discs suspended from a polished metal frame. Designed in the 1960s, this piece exemplifies Panton’s belief that lighting should be both functional and emotional, creating movement, sound, and atmosphere.
The delicate, organically shaped shell discs catch light beautifully, producing a warm iridescent glow and a soft shimmering effect as they gently move. When illuminated, the sconce functions as both a light source and an art object — elegant, tactile, and instantly recognizable.
Many original spares are provided
