Elegant opal glass pendant lamp designed by Aloys F. Gangkofner for the German glass manufacturer Peill & Putzler. The organically shaped shade is crafted from white opal glass and features a subtle vertical relief. The relief emphasizes the lamp's round shape and gives the glass a beautiful layered effect, whether switched off or illuminated. When the lamp is lit, the opal glass diffuses a soft and even light, while the opening at the bottom also provides direct light.
Aloys F. Gangkofner was one of the most important German glass designers of the post-war period. His collaboration with Peill & Putzler resulted in an extensive series of sculptural glass fixtures, in which traditional glassmaking techniques were translated into modern industrial production.
An understated yet characterful mid-century pendant lamp that looks particularly beautiful both individually and in combination with other glass fixtures.
Dimensions are as follows: height 30 cm, diameter 24 cm.
Carefully selected vintage design. Professionally restored where necessary, with respect for the original design, craftsmanship, and materials used.
