About the Item
A striking and rare pair of clamp-mounted spotlights by renowned Swiss designer Dieter Waeckerlin, circa 1960s. These sculptural lamps epitomize Waeckerlin’s minimalist ethos, merging functional precision with refined Bauhaus influence.
Each spotlight features a white lacquered metal shade with original patina and a chrome-plated adjustable arm anchored by a distinctive clamp mechanism, allowing versatile positioning on desks, shelves, or headboards. Their compact scale and understated design make them a perfect fit for modern interiors seeking an authentic mid-century accent.
Waeckerlin is best known for his cabinetry work and rationalist furniture design, and these rare lamps showcase his holistic approach to form and utility—industrial design elevated to art.
