Description from the seller

Pendant Light Vintage Style "Holophane" in Plexiglass – Space Age / Industrial Look - 1960s/1970s

Superb and original vintage pendant light in an industrial and Space Age style dating from the 1960s-1970s. This rare model stands out with its elegant ovoid diffuser in high-quality clear plexiglass, faithfully reproducing the famous prismatic and grid texture of the iconic Holophane glass.

Thanks to its polymer/acrylic construction, this premium luminaire delivers a striking visual impact while ensuring lightness and safe installation. When the lamp is on, its thousands of prismatic facets break up the light to project beautiful geometric and warm patterns onto your walls and ceiling, creating a unique atmosphere with no glare.

The upper part is crowned by a satin aluminum gallery featuring vertical ventilation slits and classic period design, complemented by clean black finishes at the base and on the canopy.

Specifications & Dimensions:
• Period: Circa 1960s - 1970s
• Style: Industrial Design / Space Age / Retro-Chic
• Materials: Diffuser in plexiglass / shatterproof acrylic, aluminum gallery, black polymer mounting.
• Shade Height: ~30 cm
• Maximum Width: ~25 cm
• Cable Length: ~120 cm (a generous length, ideal for high ceilings or custom hanging).
• Wiring: Equipped with its original socket, ready to install (standard E27 format, ideal for filament LED or clear bulbs to maximize refraction patterns).

Condition: Excellent vintage condition overall. The plexiglass remains beautifully clear and crystal-transparent with no yellowing or major cracks. Subtle, discreet signs of wear and age are present (minor patina on the metal gallery, faint surface micro-scratches on the plastic), which attest to its authenticity and enhance its genuine retro charm.

A perfect centerpiece to bring a retro-chic, industrial, or pop-art vibe to a living room, kitchen, loft, or entry!
