‘Balance’ wall lamps (model C-1550) – Raak (Bertrand Balas)

 375,00 VAT incl.

These ‘Balance‘ (Model C-1550) wall lamps from Raak Amsterdam were designed by Bertrand Balas. The lamps are designed with French sophistication and southern panache. The lamp consists of a gold-colored brass casting with a fine-grained structure. The lamps are designed in such a way that they can be hung with the opening pointing downwards or upwards. They can therefore be used both alone and in a composition. In composition they can be hung next to each other with free interpretation of the directions (two in the same direction or two in opposite directions). Dimensions: 40 cm (height) – 20 cm (width) – 14 cm (depth) Source: Raak catalog 8, page 56. The condition of this set is still very good with minimal traces of use and wear (see photos). The lamps have a normal E27 fitting and were completely rewired, including earthing and fitting.

The price is per piece.

Raak was founded in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn and is one of the most important Dutch lighting manufacturers of the 20th century. Before launching his business in Amsterdam, Lockhorn had worked on lighting a huge Philips building in Eindhoven (where he later opened a second Raak branch). Raak’s tagline was “Illuminated Architecture” which gave the brand prestige in producing designs that integrate harmoniously with cutting-edge, high concept interiors.
Raak’s glass and metal, floor lamps, pendant lamps and wall lamps have an aesthetic that was both elegant and futuristic through high-quality materials with innovative shapes.

Bertrand Balas (born 1935 in Toulouse, France) is a French architect and designer who started his professional life in 1962 as a self-employed person. It was in 1965 that this designer, while traveling, came into contact with Raak, a company that was very fundamental to the development of his skills in product design. Balas shaped ‘the French style’ within the Raak collection.

Raak regularly collaborates with international designers and architects, including E. J. (Evert Jelle) Jelles, Sergio Asti, Bertrand Balas and Nanny Still.
