ONE OF THE RAREST RAAK AMSTERDAM TABLE LAMPS FROM THE LATER AMSTERDAM PERIOD, THIS ICONIC MODEL WAS OFFICIALLY NAMED “MAGNET.” AS ALWAYS WITH RAAK, IT IS A DESIGN LIKE NO OTHER—A PERFECT BLEND OF FUNCTIONALITY AND SCULPTURAL FORM.

IT FEATURES A TALL, PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL CYLINDRICAL BASE WITH A COCOA BROWN WRINKLE COATING. THE UPPER SECTION HAS A CUTOUT THAT HOLDS A CHROMED METAL BALL-SHAPED SHADE, SECURED BY A POWERFUL MAGNET. THE SHADE INCLUDES A BROWN PLASTIC INSERT WITH A FINE RIBBED FOAM-LIKE TEXTURE ON THE INSIDE, WHICH SHOWS MARKS FROM USE WITH A LIGHT BULB OF TOO MUCH WATTAGE. HOWEVER, THESE MARKS ARE INVISIBLE ONCE A LIGHT BULB IS INSERTED IN THE CHROMED BALL-SHAPED SHADE, MAKING THEM COMPLETELY UNNOTICEABLE.

THE LAMP IS OPERATED VIA A WHITE RECTANGULAR PUSH BUTTON ON THE BASE AND REMAINS FULLY MARKED WITH ITS ORIGINAL STICKER LABELS, INCLUDING THE PAPER COVER OVER THE MAGNET TO PREVENT SCRATCHES ON THE CHROMED SHADE. STUDIO HAAG IS PROUD TO HAVE A SET ON OFFER, A TRUE RAAK COLLECTOR’S PIECE.
