This maxi globe m(medium) pendant (b-1259) was designed by frank ligtelijn in 1968 and is completely original. The lamp was produced by raak (amsterdam), one of the most important dutch lighting manufacturers of the 20th century. Specific space age design.
the shape of the pendant lamp refers to the essence and source of electric light: the light bulb, invented by thomas alva edison in 1879. The lamp is also called maxi light or maxi bulb. The lamps have gray smoked glass shades and gold-coloured brass fittings.
the lamp is very beautiful as a singular lamp, but also sublime in combination with a few others. We only have a few of these lamps in stock in the same beautiful vintage condition.
the minimalist design is an excellent example of raak’s signature style and has become a vintage classic.
this lamp is completely original and in very good vintage condition according to its age. The lamp has been checked and is fully working. You only need to screw in a lamp (e27 socket) to enjoy the 60s. A silver coloured top mirror led bulb can be used for refined indirect effects. Light bulb not included.
source: raak amsterdam light catalog 8, page 90: “who builds a light bulb around a light bulb? raak! embedded like a child in a mother’s womb, a crown mirror lamp sits on a brass base in a transparent maxi light bulb.”
