About the Item
Rare XL Holophane Pendant Light – Original Paris Streetlamp, France, 1960
This exceptional extra-large Holophane pendant light is a rare and iconic example of mid-century industrial design. Originally manufactured in France around 1960, this fixture once illuminated the streets of Paris. Today, it has been carefully and professionally converted for interior use, making it a striking statement piece for both residential and commercial spaces.
The standout feature is its original ribbed borosilicate glass globe, measuring an impressive 50 cm (19.7 inches) in diameter. This prismatic glass was engineered by Holophane to diffuse light evenly, casting both uplight and downlight in a soft, atmospheric glow. The result is glare-free illumination that enhances the ambiance of any setting—from stylish homes to hospitality spaces, retail stores, and gallery environments.
Holophane was renowned for its innovative lighting technology, designed to deliver uniform brightness in public environments. These fixtures remain sought-after for their clean geometry, refined materials, and enduring functionality. Reimagined as interior pendants, they now offer a sophisticated blend of architectural character and modern utility.
Each pendant is thoroughly cleaned, professionally rewired, and fitted with a high-quality porcelain E27 socket compatible with LED bulbs. All wiring meets international safety standards, including US and UK systems. The fixtures are ready to install and can be used worldwide.
Customization available: We offer free adjustments to the suspension length or ceiling finish to suit your project needs. With over 24 units available, these lights are perfect for large-scale installations or matched sets in commercial interiors.
