Product description
C-1609.12 Architraaf wall lamp by Pierre Vandel for Raak Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 1970s
The C-1609.12 Architraaf wall lamp, designed by Pierre Vandel for Raak Amsterdam, is a striking example of Dutch architectural lighting design from the 1970s. True to Raak’s design ethos, the piece combines clean geometry with refined material contrasts to create an elegant, atmospheric light object.
The lamp features a rectangular aluminum body with a bronze coloured finish, paired with a frosted glass diffuser that softens the light into a gentle upward and downward glow. Its name, Architraaf (Dutch for “architrave”), aptly reflects the design’s architectural inspiration — a horizontal beam of light that emphasizes the purity of form and proportion.
Vandel’s design captures the essence of Raak’s philosophy: lighting not merely as illumination, but as an integral element of architectural composition. The result is a timeless piece that feels equally at home in both modern and mid-century interiors.
In very good condition with minor surface wear consistent with age. A refined example of 1970s Dutch modernism — understated, intelligent, and beautifully made. Presented by Studio Haag.
