this all-white version is very rare and is in excellent condition.

this type of mushroom lamps were made in the 60s/70s by the well-known dutch lighting manufacturers dijkstra, raak, gepo and herda. These iconic lamps, in a typical mid century atomic / space age design, are characterized by plexi acrylic globes, usually in a beige color, which light up very nicely and create a special atmosphere.

the lamp is rotatable and adjustable (using the metal arc frame and sphere) and can easily be turned in different directions. This allows the lamp to provide direct light (ideal as a reading lamp), but also indirectly by shining the lamp towards the wall. Despite the fact that the translucent shade is white, the light is stunningly beautiful and warm.
complete with original suspension bracket / mounting plate (to be fixed to the wall with screws).

this dutch design icon will truly be an eye-catcher in your interior!
