Doria 5128 Square Metal Wall Lamp – 1970s German Mid-Century Modern / Space Age Wall or Ceiling Sconce – iF Design Award 1977
Step into the future of 1970s design with this rare original piece: the DORIA Werkstätten model 5128 wall/ceiling lamp, created by the in-house DORIA-Studio design team in Germany and awarded the prestigious iF Design Award in 1977.
Perfect for lovers of bold form, graphic geometry and space-age aesthetics, this lamp brings sculptural presence and ambient light in one elegant package.
Why this lamp stands out:
Iconic square metal design: 31 × 31 cm (≈12.2″ × 12.2″) with a depth of 8 cm (≈3.1″) — a crisp, minimalist silhouette that makes a statement.
Unique layered shade system: a white lacquered aluminum outer square mat, paired with a red-painted square diffuser on top, giving soft indirect lighting that washes the wall and adds atmospheric glow.
Dual-use functionality: Designed to be mounted either as a wall sconce or as a flush-ceiling lamp, giving versatile installation options in modern interiors.
Quality German vintage craftsmanship: Metal construction (no plastic parts), thick folded metal components, reliable build from a respected maker.
Original two E14 galvanized-metal socket system (compatible with modern LED bulbs) – so you get vintage looks with contemporary usability.
Award-winning design: Recognised with the iF Design Award in 1977 — an important design credential that collectors and mid-century enthusiasts respect.
