Glass Ceiling Lamp by Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Peill & Putzler, 1954
About the Item
Design by Wilhelm Wagenfeld for Peill & Putzler, Du¨ren, Germany 1954.
1x E27 socket.
Measures: Total height 110cm. Diameter 24cm.
The Peill and Sohn Glassworks in Düren, destroyed in World War II, and the Putzler brothers' works in Penzig, expropriated by the Polish state, merged in 1946. This resulted in the Dürener Werk with the directors Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel under the name Peill + Putzler in 1952. The first glass was melted in 1948. In 1994 this important smelter had to stop its work. Important designers such as Prof. Wagenfeld, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg and Aloys F. Gangkofner worked for Glashüttenwerke Peill and Putzler and made it known above all among architects. The cooperation with Aloys F. Gangkofner lasted from 1953-1958. A multitude of lighting models as well as goblet sets were created. The timeless iris glass was produced and sold until the 1980s. Aloys F. Gangkofner developed new techniques for inflating the light fittings, which he had already tested in Waldsassen. The implementation of these techniques for industrial production detached the forms from the objective austerity of the early 1950s and gave them individual independence. The luminaires not only served their purpose, but were also an accentuated form for modern space in their unlit state. Venezia was a particularly successful model.

Peill & Putzler
Transforming light manufacturing into an aesthetic art form, Peill & Putzler is synonymous with futuristic globular glassworks. It was a massive operation at the peak of its production, creating mid-century modern designs and employing up to 1,500 workers. Its table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers and pendants are anything but mundane and are admired today for their innovative artistry.
The melding of two great, independent glassworks companies in 1947 to form Peill & Putzler occurred at the beginning of a postwar design surge. Peill und Sohn, founded in 1903, was led by Leopold Peill, a philanthropist and glassmaker. Originally from Pieńsk in today’s Poland, the Putzler brothers were well-established glass producers known for kerosene street lighting. The synthesis of the two companies established the renowned glassworks and a lighting company. The site of its glassworks factory in Düren, Germany, became the home of this integrated partnership.
In 1953, the German Design Council was formed, with Peill & Putzler as a founding member. The council is essential today, bringing social awareness, support and knowledge transfer to design companies and providing beneficial tools for their success.
Heading the company at this time were Günther Peill and Hans Ahrenkiel. The pair were experimental with the designs the company produced. Advancing technologies supported industrial production, allowing the company to manufacture pieces that were as much art as functional objects.
Designers of note who worked with Peill & Putzler and contributed to its acclaim included Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Helmut Demary, William Brown, Horst Tüselmann and Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. Collaboratively, they produced stunning flush mount lighting, candle holders and vases and vessels.
