About the Item
Holophane Prismatic Glass Pendant Light by André Blondel, France, 1920s
Vintage Design
The history of the HOLOPHANE company began in Paris in 1893. The French engineer André Blondel, with the help of the Greek engineer Spiridion Psaroudaki, invented “prismatic molded glass”. This process uses the principle of light diffraction. By cutting the glass into the shape of prisms cleverly distributed over its surface, the light beams can be oriented in a desired direction. On September 30, 1893, André Blondel filed the patent for his invention which he named “HOLOPHANE”.

- Glasses in PERFECT CONDITION
- Each Lamp will be packaged in a wooden and foam box, tailor-made specifically for export
