Product description
One of the rarest Raak Amsterdam table lamps from the later Amsterdam period, this iconic model was officially named “Magnet.” As always with Raak, it is a design like no other—a perfect blend of functionality and sculptural form.
It features a tall, perfectly symmetrical cylindrical base finished in a cocoa brown wrinkle coating. The upper section contains a cutout that holds a chromed metal ball-shaped shade, secured in place by a powerful magnet.
The lamp is operated by a white rectangular push button located on the base. It retains its original sticker labels, including the paper cover over the magnet to protect the chrome from scratches—a rare detail. A true collector’s piece, this lamp represents the bold creativity and technical ingenuity that defined Raak’s legacy in lighting design.
Inside the shade is a brown plastic insert with a finely ribbed, foam-like texture that shows marks from use with a high-wattage bulb. These marks are entirely invisible once a bulb is installed, rendering them completely unnoticeable during normal use.
