A raw, industrial object with an unexpectedly funky twist. This rare lamp, produced by VEB Leuchtenbau Wittenberg in the former GDR (East Germany), dates from the late 1980s. Designed for utilitarian environments, it's now a beloved design statement.
The lamp features a long glass cylinder housing two fluorescent tubes. Around this are two orange sleeves, which filter the light and create an intense orange glow. The result is an almost neon-like effect that instantly creates ambiance and transforms the space—raw, playful, and undeniably striking.
Thanks to its robust design, the lamp can be mounted in multiple ways:
✔ on the wall
✔ on the ceiling
✔ or as a freestanding fixture on the floor
Horizontally or vertically: this lamp adapts to your space.
Applications
This lamp is equally at home in a bold interior or a commercial setting:
as a statement piece in a living room, loft, or studio
in a shop as a visual eye-catcher
in a club, bar, or café for mood lighting with character
perfect for hospitality venues, galleries, or creative workspaces
The orange light gives everything a slightly futuristic, almost club-like atmosphere—without being flashy.
