THE RAAK KREKEL MODEL R-60, DESIGNED BY OTTO WASCH FOR RAAK IN 1962, IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SIMPLICITY IN DESIGN. A SLIM METAL TUBE, TWO ADJUSTABLE PINS, AND A LIGHT. BY MOVING THE PINS, YOU CAN ADJUST THE LAMP TO ANY DESIRED POSITION. THE SWITCH IS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LAMP, ADDING TO ITS FUNCTIONAL SIMPLICITY. THIS ORIGINAL 1960S KREKEL LAMP STILL RETAINS THE FAMOUS RAAK STICKER AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE LAMP FEATURES A LIGHT METAL TUBE IN BRUSHED SILVER, MEASURING 30 CM IN LENGTH WITH A DIAMETER OF 5 CM, SUPPORTED BY TWO ADJUSTABLE METAL PINS. THE LAMP IS EASY TO POSITION, MAKING IT VERSATILE AND FUNCTIONAL. THIS DESIGN IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF MID-CENTURY MODERN LIGHTING FROM RAAK AMSTERDAM, AND IT CARRIES THE DESIGN ETHOS OF THE ERA.

ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL CATALOG, THE LAMP WORKS BEST WHEN COMBINED WITH A MIRRORED LAMP FOR INDIRECT LIGHTING OF ARTWORKS OR POSTERS, OR WITH A CONICAL SPOTLIGHT LAMP FOR READING, AMBIENT LIGHTING, OR FOR CREATING A SOOTHING ATMOSPHERE. THIS LAMP REMAINS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF FUNCTIONAL DESIGN AND A MUST-HAVE FOR COLLECTORS AND DESIGN ENTHUSIASTS.
