Counterpoint Wall Lamps "C-1626" by Raak, The Netherlands 1960s
By RAAK
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the realm of mid-20th century Dutch design, these model "C-1626" wall lamps remain fascinating designs defined by the contrast of the smooth-round satin-matt glass and the angular-straight grey metal. Produced by RAAK Amsterdam and envisioned during the 1960s, this pair stands as evidence to the era's minimalist aesthetic. Hailing from the 1960s, these wall lamps are not only embodiments of simplicity and elegance, showcasing a design ethos that continues to captivate admirers today, but also illustrate how minimalist design can be so ingenious and expressive at the same time. These so-called Counterpoint Wall Lamps, specifically, model "C-1626" lamps by Raak Amsterdam exemplify the sophisticated and minimalist design ethos that defined 1960s lighting in the Netherlands. Crafted during an era where form and function coalesced seamlessly, these lamps remain enduring testaments to the timeless appeal of mid-century modernism. The essence of the Counterpoint Wall Lamps lies in their deliberate counterplay between simplicity and efficacy. Raak's design philosophy, epitomized in these C-1626 models, embraces clean lines and uncluttered aesthetics. The lamps feature a geometrically refined structures that effortlessly integrate into contemporary interiors, making them a compelling choice for discerning collectors. Functionally, Counterpoint Wall Lamps are marvels of balance. The design encapsulates a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, casting a gentle glow that enhances the ambiance of any space. The adaptability of the lamps is underscored by their capacity to blend seamlessly with diverse decor styles, a testament to the enduring legacy of Raak's commitment to versatility. Raak Amsterdam, a true vanguard in Dutch lighting design, played a pivotal role in shaping the visual landscape of the 1960s. Their meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to minimalist elegance laid the foundation for a design language that continues to resonate today. RAAK Amsterdam was started in the year 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn, who before was employed by Philips in the south of the Netherlands. RAAK had its main sales outlets in both Eindhoven and Amsterdam.The aim of the company was to advise for correct usage of lighting devices, in a way that these are adapted to the surrounding architecture. The name “RAAK” can be loosely translated as “bulls eye” in Dutch, i.e. the company hits the target with respect to its design and function. The designs produced by the company were aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective. These ideals are fully translated into the design of this pair;The design is clearly aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective.For collectors and connoisseurs alike, these Counterpoint Wall Lamps model "C-1626" stand as both a nod to history and a beacon of timeless style for contemporary interiors.Characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a commitment to functionalism. Their minimalist form, where form follows function with remarkable precision is achieved by the use of glass and metal. With their unadorned bodies and a subtle play of light and shadow, the design fully utilizes the differently textured and coloured elements. The design is remarkable for its ability to seamlessly blend into diverse interior settings. The design has great proportions, to create an attention-grabbing look. When lit, these lamps create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the glass a warm, cosy colour as well. Raak Amsterdam, the illustrious producer of these lights was renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Established in 1954, Raak quickly gained recognition for collaborating with exceptional designers like Jan-Willem Bosman. Their partnership produced timeless lighting solutions that continue to inspire contemporary designers and enthusiasts alike. This pair is a modernist design to its core with a look that is ageless and can stand out but also complement any space. During its existence, RAAK collaborated with several famous designers such as Betrand Balas (Springfontein Lamp), Frank Ligtelijn (Globe Lamp) or Maija-Liisa Komulainen (Fuga lamp...

Vintage and Antique Lighting for Sale: Unique Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Sconces and Other Lighting for Your Home

The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.

Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.

Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat. 

Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.

As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.

There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation

With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.

The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
