RAAK table lamps, large complementary brutalist pair, aluminum, steel and glass, 1972, Dutch. Most likely a creation of Nanny Still, one of the most famous designers of RAAK Amsterdam.This pair of table lamps has been gently cleaned while respecting the vintage patina. Both lamps have been rewired and grounded, they work perfectly and have been tested by an electrician. Each has a new nickel plated metal E 27 lamp holder with grounding, black switch, gray silk cable and new black plug. Bulbs included. It is possible to use these lamps in other countries, but it may be necessary to purchase different bulbs for the local electricity. This pair of large table lamps combines modernist and brutalist influences in the design. They are complemented by handmade colored glass panels that soften the look and add glamour.
