ZODIAC FLOOR LAMP BY TON A.C. ALBERTS FOR RAAK AMSTERDAM

THIS STUNNING AND LARGE FLOOR LAMP, DESIGNED BY TON A.C. ALBERTS FOR RAAK AMSTERDAM, IS KNOWN AS THE ZODIAC (MODEL NUMBER D-2080). FEATURING A STRIKING MINIMALIST DESIGN, THE LAMP SHOWCASES A SOLID ROSEWOOD SQUARE FRAME AND BRUSHED ALUMINUM LEGS, SUPPORTING A FROSTED GLASS GLOBE WITH A 55 CM DIAMETER. THE COMBINATION OF MATERIALS AND DESIGN CREATES A BRIGHT, SPHERICAL LIGHT, EXUDING A SOPHISTICATED AMBIENCE WHEN ILLUMINATED.

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THE LAMP IS DOCUMENTED IN RAAK CATALOGUES FROM 1966 TO 1974, INCLUDING CATALOGUE 7 FROM 1969, AND IS PART OF PRESTIGIOUS COLLECTIONS, INCLUDING THE STEDELIJK MUSEUM AND THE RIJKSMUSEUM IN AMSTERDAM. THE ZODIAC’S INNOVATIVE DESIGN PLACES THE LIGHT SOURCE LOW TO THE GROUND, EMPHASIZING ITS SIMPLE, CLEAN FORM. THE LAMP’S FROSTED GLASS GLOBE, COUPLED WITH ITS DARK WOODEN FRAME AND STURDY ALUMINUM FEET, MAKES IT A PERFECT ADDITION TO ANY MODERN INTERIOR.

THIS FLOOR LAMP IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. IT HAS A MINOR, DISCREET NICK ON THE GLASS DOME THAT IS NOT VISIBLE WHEN PLACED ON THE ROSEWOOD SQUARE FRAME IN ITS NORMAL POSITION. IT REMAINS A TIMELESS EXAMPLE OF MID-CENTURY DUTCH DESIGN AND CONTINUES TO IMPRESS COLLECTORS AND DESIGN ENTHUSIASTS ALIKE.
