beautiful and extremely rare vintage space age ceiling lamp from the 1960s/70s attributed to the iconic dutch lighting manufacturer raak amsterdam (not marked).

this is a very rare model that you almost never come across!
both the size and design of this lamp will ensure that this will be a real eye-catcher in your interior.

the globe consists of two halves, one of which is clear transparent and the other transparent orange. You attach the halves together by means of 3 metal pins.
the interior of the lamp, the epitome of sputnik style!, features five light bars of different lengths (15 - 17 - 19 - 21 - 23 cm) and the chrome shines like a diamond!
due to the reflection of light on the chrome interior and the light transmission of the orange globe, the lamp creates stunning light and is a true spectacle to behold.

the design and combination of silver and orange is a hallmark of the mid-century modern / space age style and is a great addition to your dining room, living room, kitchen or entrance and not only illuminates your space, but is also a perfect item that highlights your refined taste!
