Private sellerProduct description
Beautiful Belgian pendant lamp made of warm teak wood, brass, and a ribbed opaline glass shade, designed and produced by the well-known brand Massive in the 1960s. Although this model is often attributed in advertisements to the style of Louis Kalff or Danish design, it is an iconic design of Belgian origin. The spherical, frosted glass shade features vertical ribs that beautifully diffuse the light softly and warmly. The fixture is elegantly framed by an organically shaped wooden and brass arch, creating a perfect mid-century or space age look.
