Description from the seller
Raak Amsterdam – large vintage multi-light hanging lamp in brass – Netherlands, circa 1960–70
Description
Beautiful vintage cluster pendant lamp by Raak Amsterdam, with nine slender pendants in brushed brass. A typical example of high-quality Dutch design from the late 1960s / early 1970s.
The lamp consists of:
• Nine separate pendulums with cylindrical brass fittings.
Cream-colored cords of various lengths to create a playful floating effect.
Original round ceiling plate in matching color.
Original Raak labels on the fittings: 'raak Amsterdam – made in Holland – 15 W/held'.
The design is minimalist but very atmospheric; the narrow candle-shaped lamps hang in an organic group and emit a warm, decorative light. Ideal above a dining table, in a mezzanine, staircase, or corner of the living room.
The current candle lamps are modern LED lamps (small fitting, E14) and can be supplied if desired. The total height is now suitable for a space with a high ceiling; the cords can be shortened by an electrician as preferred.
About Raak Amsterdam (NL)
Raak was founded in 1954 in Amsterdam and grew in the 1960s and 1970s to become one of the leading Dutch manufacturers of modern design lighting. The company collaborated with several well-known designers and was known for its architectural, often sculptural lamps made from high-quality materials such as brass, glass, and aluminum. Raak lamps were exported worldwide and are now highly prized by collectors of mid-century and Dutch design. This multi-light pendant lamp is a beautiful example of that timeless, minimalist Raak style.
