Florian Schulz Onos 55 pendant ceiling lamp, Germany 1970

The beautiful and versatile height-adjustable ceiling lamp, model Onos 55, was designed and produced in Germany in 1970 by Florian Schulz. Crafted from brushed brass, the lamp features a heavy, solid brass ball at its center, allowing for easy height adjustment. This ingenious system, in which the electrical wire runs through the brass ball to adjust the height, is not only functional but also minimalistic and visually appealing. The lamp’s high-quality brass construction and polished finish reflect the glamour that was iconic to 1970s design. Brass was a popular material during this period and added a touch of refinement to interiors. The pendant lamp provides soft, diffused light thanks to the reflective shade and small diffuser underneath, creating a warm, atmospheric glow.
