Lampe murale

This wall light is from the Scala cinema in Århus, in the Jutland region of Denmark. On the two side walls of the auditorium were 24 such lights, angled at 45° to avoid dazzle. The ribbon of polished aluminium is painted white on the inner side to better reflect the light. Specially produced filament bulbs provided a warm light. When the auditorium was remodelled in 1980 the seating capacity was reduced from 370 to 285 places and some of the lights were disposed of.
