MODEL C1666 “QUINQUET” WALL LAMPS IN OPAL GLASS BY RAAK AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, 1960S. THIS WONDERFUL PAIR OF WALL LAMPS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF RAAK’S PLAYFUL AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO LIGHTING DESIGN. INSPIRED BY THE FORM OF A TRADITIONAL OIL LAMP, THE DESIGN COMBINES A SCULPTURAL OPAL GLASS SHADE WITH A SIMPLE METAL FRAME, RESULTING IN A PIECE THAT IS BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND HIGHLY DECORATIVE.

THE DISTINCTIVE OPAL GLASS SHADE FEATURES A GLOBE-SHAPED BODY WITH AN ELONGATED CYLINDRICAL TOP, CREATING A SILHOUETTE THAT IMMEDIATELY DRAWS THE EYE. THE METAL HOLDERS HAVE BEEN TASTEFULLY REPAINTED IN A VIBRANT BLUE, PROVIDING A BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST TO THE SOFT WHITE GLASS AND GIVING THE LAMPS A FRESH AND CONTEMPORARY CHARACTER WHILE REMAINING FAITHFUL TO THEIR MID-CENTURY ORIGINS.

BOTH LAMPS REMAIN IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR SIGNS OF AGE AND USE. WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE OPAL GLASS PRODUCES A SOFT, EVENLY DIFFUSED LIGHT THAT CREATES A WARM AND INVITING ATMOSPHERE. A WONDERFUL AND RARE PAIR OF DUTCH MODERNIST WALL LIGHTS THAT COMBINES SCULPTURAL FORM, EXCELLENT LIGHT QUALITY, AND THE TIMELESS DESIGN LANGUAGE OF RAAK AMSTERDAM.
