We usually focus mainly on French design but couldn’t resist this amazing pair of wall lights (one of the pair in our image) which we saw in Paris last week! We were utterly enchanted. In tubular acrylic and painted metal, they were made for Milan Central Station c 1959 by the Italian designer and architect, Melchiorre Bega (1898-1976) and produced by Stilnovo. They are true statement pieces, monumental in size (each 151 x 42 x 85cm) and radiating out striated light from between the acrylic tubes. We loved the oval form and can imagine them perfectly setting the tone in a chic interior!

Bega was a powerhouse in Italian architecture and design in Italy in the mid fifties, designing the Galfa Tower skyscraper in Milan in 1959 and heading Domus magazine from 1941-1944.
