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. Origin: Switzerland, circa 1966 Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age Materials: Lacquered metal, chrome, original wiring (rewired upon request) Provenance: Private Swiss collection A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of lighting pieces by one of Switzerland’s most important postwar designers. Suitable for collectors, designers, and design purists alike.
