RAAK table lamp by Nanny Still, aluminium, steel & glass, 1972, Dutch

This table lamp has been gently cleaned while respecting the vintage patina. Newly rewired & earthed, fully working and pat tested by an electrician. It has a new e 27 nickel metal earthed lamp holder, black switch, grey silk cable & new black plug. Light bulb included. It is possible to use this light in other countries although it may be necessary to purchase different light bulbs suitable to local electricity. It can be used with a dimmer. The lamp consists of 3 parts: a stainless steel hood, a central column with a combination of aluminium discs & coloured glass, and an aluminium base. The round base is in brushed aluminum and weighted on the underside, which makes this lamp very stable. From the base rises the central tubular aluminium column. This is decorated with a series of 5 aluminium rings. The top and bottom are empty circular frames. The 3 rings in the middle hold hand made coloured glass panels. Each of these 5 rings rotates 360 degrees and can be placed in different positions, as well as move up and down the main vertical column. Each section with glass is composed by 2 round glass panels of the same colour, fitted at either side of the aluminium round frame. The diversity of texture, effect and colour is exceptional. At the top of the column there is the stainless steel slightly conical drum shade with a polished brushed texture on the outside. Inside it is lined with zinc alloy. Interestingly the joint in the shade is finished with a flat head bolt which contributes to the brutalist design. The shade is very stable, fitted to the main column by two iron stretchers. The shade is screwed to the 4 ends of these arms. This lamp is in very good condition.
