BOWL MODEL C-1674 MARATHON WALL UPLIGHTERS BY RAAK AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, 1970s

A STRIKING PAIR OF MODEL C-1674 “MARATHON” WALL UPLIGHTERS BY RAAK AMSTERDAM, PRODUCED IN THE NETHERLANDS DURING THE 1970s. THE DESIGN COMBINES A WIDE BOWL-SHAPED ALUMINIUM REFLECTOR WITH A STRONG GEOMETRIC WALL MOUNT IN BLACK-LACQUERED METAL.

THE SCULPTURAL BOWLS DIRECT THE LIGHT UPWARDS, CREATING A WARM AND ATMOSPHERIC INDIRECT GLOW ACROSS THE WALL. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE BRUSHED ALUMINIUM AND THE GRAPHIC BLACK FRAME GIVES THE LIGHTS A DISTINCTIVE MODERNIST APPEARANCE.

THE WALL LIGHTS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL VINTAGE CONDITION, WITH ONLY MINOR SCRATCHES CONSISTENT WITH THEIR AGE AND USE. AN ORIGINAL RAAK LABEL IS PRESENT. BOTH LIGHTS ARE IN FULL WORKING ORDER. SOLD AS A PAIR.
