This vintage burgundy wall light combines the softness of a white sphere with an open frame that extends along the wall. It is the MBM model, designed by Josep Maria Martorell, Oriol Bohigas and David Mackay for Polinax in the 1960s. The burgundy band wraps around the shade, adding a restrained touch of colour that stands out against pale walls.
Six units available. Price per unit. Sold individually; each unit ordered corresponds to one wall light.
Why we chose this wall light
For the contrast between the rounded form and the vertical lines of its support, a composition that retains its presence even when switched off. It can sit beside a mirror above a hallway console or be repeated along a corridor. Burgundy works with walnut, oak and limewashed walls, in contemporary interiors and rooms that bring together furniture from different periods. The six available units allow for a coordinated arrangement in a home, hotel or restaurant.
About MBM
MBM takes its name from the architects Martorell, Bohigas and Mackay. The Barcelona practice worked across residential, educational and urban architecture, with close attention to construction and the relationship between buildings and the city.
