original mid-century modern.
the peill und sohn glassworks in düren, destroyed in the second world war, and the putzler brothers' glassworks in penzig, expropriated by the polish state, merged in 1946. This gave rise to the düren plant with directors günther peill and hans ahrenkiel under the name peill + putzler in 1952. The first glass was melted in 1948. This important glassworks had to cease operations in 1994. Important designers such as prof. Wagenfeld, wilhelm braun-feldweg and aloys f. Gangkofner worked for the peill + putzler glassworks and made it famous, especially in architectural circles. The collaboration with aloys f. Gangkofner lasted from 1953 to 1958 and resulted in a large number of lighting models and goblet glass sets. The timeless iris glass was produced and sold until the 1980s.
aloys f. Gangkofner developed new techniques for blowing up the lighting fixtures, which he had already tested in the free-blowing process in waldsassen. The implementation of these techniques for industrial production freed the forms from the functional austerity of the early 1950s and gave them individual independence. The lighting fixtures not only served their purpose, but were also an accentuated form for the modern room when unlit. One particularly successful model was "venezia".
