Background information:
The Dutch company Raak Amsterdam was founded in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn (1923–2004), a former employee of Philips Lighting Eindhoven.
Raak, which in Dutch means "a hit" implies a design that hits the nail on the head.
Raak is quite well-known for their organic modern designs from the 1960s and 70s, combining glass and metal in a futuristic, uncontemporary design, for that time.
This pendant light has the usual signs of wear such as scratches on the aluminium around the lamp, but not so bad on the whole, please have a good look at all the photos.
PLEASE NOTE: This lamp comes without a light bulb, it has only been used for the styling and the photos.
Will be sent well-packaged and by registered post via PostNL, both within the Netherlands and abroad.
