Product description
RARE RAAK AMSTERDAM MODEL D-2153 TABLE LAMP – 1968
A Minimalist Masterpiece of Dutch Mid-Century Design
This rare D-2153 table lamp by Raak Amsterdam, produced in 1968, is a true testament to the refined elegance and innovation of Dutch mid-century lighting design. Featuring a sleek, minimalist form, it pairs a solid white marble base (9.5 x 9.5 cm) with dramatic dark veining and a polished stainless steel column—a subtle but striking contrast of materials. The original pull-cord switch remains intact, lending both functionality and authenticity to this iconic piece.
Casting a soft, ambient glow, the lamp is ideally suited for a variety of modern interiors, where its clean lines and sculptural simplicity can truly shine.
Founded in 1954 by Carel Otto Lockhorn, Raak Amsterdam became one of the most influential lighting manufacturers of the 20th century, particularly renowned for its role in the Space Age design movement of the 1960s and ’70s. Their creations, often combining industrial materials with elegant forms, are now highly sought-after by collectors and design lovers worldwide. This example even retains its original factory label on the socket, further affirming its provenance and authenticity.
A must-have for collectors and a refined addition to both vintage and contemporary interiors alike.
While the colorful floral lampshade is likely a later addition, the core design of the lamp remains untouched—an enduring icon of Dutch modernism.
