ProfessionalProduct description
This striking Sputnik pendant lamp from Doria embodies the futuristic spirit of the 1970s in its most elegant form. The design is based on a radially arranged system of chrome-plated cylinders, supported by delicate brass arms and rhythmically punctuated by spherical elements. The combination of polished chrome and warm, shimmering brass lends the lamp a captivating materiality typical of high-quality German designer lighting from this era. The visible light sources are deliberately integrated into the design, echoing the iconic Sputnik aesthetic, which is heavily influenced by Space Age design. The mirrored surfaces create fascinating light reflections and an almost sculptural effect that constantly shifts depending on the viewing angle. The compact yet dense arrangement of the elements produces an atmospheric, yet focused, light pattern – ideal above a dining table or as a central statement piece in a room. Doria Leuchten was among the leading manufacturers of high-quality lighting in Germany during the 1960s and 1970s and was particularly known for its innovative combinations of glass and metal. Sputnik models of this type are among the most sought-after designs of the Space Age style today.
Condition: Used, good condition with age-related wear on the metal surfaces, light patina, and minimal scratches. Electrical components are present but should be professionally inspected before installation. Overall, very nice, authentic vintage condition.
Dimensions: Diameter 19 cm x Length 154 cm
