Glass And Metal Functionalist Suspended Ceiling Lights By Miloslav Prokop

This rare industrial pendant light was designed by Czech designer Miloslav Prokop and produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. The piece features a pressed opaline glass shade with subtle ribbed detailing on the underside, creating a soft diffusion of light. The fixture is suspended from a brass mount, typical of early 20th-century industrial lighting. Prokop’s design reflects the functionalist aesthetics of the interwar era — combining clarity of form, high-quality materials, and timeless craftsmanship. This light is not only a utilitarian object but also a piece of design history that captures the spirit of Central European modernism.
