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

 645,00 VAT incl.

These ‘Balance’ (model C-1550) wall lamps by Raak Amsterdam were designed by Bertrand Balas. The lamps are designed with French refinement and a touch of southern flair. The lamp is made of gold-colored cast brass with a fine-grained texture.

The lamps are designed to be mounted with the opening facing either downward or upward. They can therefore be used either as standalone pieces or as part of a composition. When arranged as a composition, they can be hung side by side with a free interpretation of the orientations—either both facing the same direction or facing opposite directions.

The price is for the set of two lamps.

Dimensions: 40 cm (height) × 20 cm (width) × 14 cm (depth).

The condition of this set is still very good, with minimal signs of use and wear (see photos). The lamps have a standard E27 socket and have been fully rewired, including the socket.

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 in 1935 in Toulouse, France) is a French architect and designer who began his professional career as a self-employed practitioner in 1962. It was in 1965 that the designer came into contact with Raak during a trip, a company that proved to be fundamental to the development of his skills in the field of 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.
