Description
Striking large Alvaline Bologna wall light, a sculptural example of Italian postmodern lighting from the 1980s, closely aligned with the Memphis design movement.
Produced in Italy, this piece reflects the experimental design approach associated with Alvaline, known for its architectural and conceptual treatment of light. The bold aluminium structure functions both as a lighting source and a sculptural wall element.
Its clean geometry and reflective surface enhance light output, creating indirect and atmospheric illumination typical of halogen-era design. A rare and collectible piece, ideal for accent walls, hallways, or gallery-style interiors.

Specifications
Bulb & Plug Compatibility
All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.
These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.
Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
