Mapelec - Ceiling lamp - Mapelec MAP 400 - ice glass - Mapelec Ice Glass Lamp

A stunning vintage industrial flush-mount ceiling light or wall sconce produced in France by Mapelec (Model MAP 400) during the 1970s. This iconic fixture is defined by its spectacular, heavy molded pressed glass shade, historically manufactured by the renowned French glassmakers Verreries d'Arques. The glass showcases a deep, organic "tree bark" or "ice glass" texture that was highly celebrated during the Mid-Century Modern and Space Age design movements. This raw, deeply structured pattern beautifully refracts and diffuses light, creating a warm, graphic glow while keeping the bare bulb hidden. The thick glass shade twists and locks securely onto its original functional black plastic base, capturing the minimalist and utilitarian essence of mid-century French industrial design. It is highly versatile and can be installed either as a ceiling light or as a striking wall mount. • Electricity: Equipped with its original wires and a quick-connection terminal block (see photos). • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The glass shade is beautifully preserved, maintaining its high gloss and clarity with no major cracks or visible chips on the outer textured surface. The black plastic base shows only minor surface wear and friction marks on the hidden mounting threads, completely normal and consistent with its age. A robust, timeless, and characterful piece that perfectly complements a loft, brutalist, or retro-chic interior layout (ideal for an entryway, hallway, kitchen, or bathroom).
