Mid-Century Modern Wall Lights and Sconces
MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE
Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that well describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living.
ORIGINS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged during the mid-20th century
- Informed by European modernism, Bauhaus, International style, Scandinavian modernism and Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture
- A heyday of innovation in postwar America
- Experimentation with new ideas, new materials and new forms flourished in Scandinavia, Italy, the former Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in Europe
CHARACTERISTICS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Simplicity, organic forms, clean lines
- A blend of neutral and bold Pop art colors
- Use of natural and man-made materials — alluring woods such as teak, rosewood and oak; steel, fiberglass and molded plywood
- Light-filled spaces with colorful upholstery
- Glass walls and an emphasis on the outdoors
- Promotion of functionality

VINTAGE MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The mid-century modern era saw leagues of postwar American architects and designers animated by new ideas and new technology. The lean, functionalist International-style architecture of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus eminences Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius had been promoted in the United States during the 1930s by Philip Johnson and others. New building techniques, such as “post-and-beam” construction, allowed the International-style schemes to be realized on a small scale in open-plan houses with long walls of glass.
Materials developed for wartime use became available for domestic goods and were incorporated into mid-century modern furniture designs. Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, who had experimented extensively with molded plywood, eagerly embraced fiberglass for pieces such as the La Chaise and the Womb chair, respectively.
Architect, writer and designer George Nelson created with his team shades for the Bubble lamp using a new translucent polymer skin and, as design director at Herman Miller, recruited the Eameses, Alexander Girard and others for projects at the legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer.
Harry Bertoia and Isamu Noguchi devised chairs and tables built of wire mesh and wire struts. Materials were repurposed too: The Danish-born designer Jens Risom created a line of chairs using surplus parachute straps for webbed seats and backrests.
The Risom lounge chair was among the first pieces of furniture commissioned and produced by legendary manufacturer Knoll, a chief influencer in the rise of modern design in the United States, thanks to the work of Florence Knoll, the pioneering architect and designer who made the firm a leader in its field. The seating that Knoll created for office spaces — as well as pieces designed by Florence initially for commercial clients — soon became desirable for the home.
As the demand for casual, uncluttered furnishings grew, more mid-century furniture designers caught the spirit.
Classically oriented creators such as Edward Wormley, house designer for Dunbar Inc., offered such pieces as the sinuous Listen to Me chaise; the British expatriate T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings switched gears, creating items such as the tiered, biomorphic Mesa table. There were Young Turks such as Paul McCobb, who designed holistic groups of sleek, blond wood furniture, and Milo Baughman, who espoused a West Coast aesthetic in minimalist teak dining tables and lushly upholstered chairs and sofas with angular steel frames.
As the collection of vintage mid-century modern chairs, dressers, coffee tables and other furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom and elsewhere on 1stDibs demonstrates, this period saw one of the most delightful and dramatic flowerings of creativity in design history.

Counterpoint Wall Lamps "C-1626" by Raak, The Netherlands 1960s
By RAAK
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the realm of mid-20th century Dutch design, these model "C-1626" wall lamps remain fascinating designs defined by the contrast of the smooth-round satin-matt glass and the angular-straight grey metal. Produced by RAAK Amsterdam and envisioned during the 1960s, this pair stands as evidence to the era's minimalist aesthetic. Hailing from the 1960s, these wall lamps are not only embodiments of simplicity and elegance, showcasing a design ethos that continues to captivate admirers today, but also illustrate how minimalist design can be so ingenious and expressive at the same time.
These so-called Counterpoint Wall Lamps, specifically, model "C-1626" lamps by Raak Amsterdam exemplify the sophisticated and minimalist design ethos that defined 1960s lighting in the Netherlands. Crafted during an era where form and function coalesced seamlessly, these lamps remain enduring testaments to the timeless appeal of mid-century modernism.
The essence of the Counterpoint Wall Lamps lies in their deliberate counterplay between simplicity and efficacy. Raak's design philosophy, epitomized in these C-1626 models, embraces clean lines and uncluttered aesthetics. The lamps feature a geometrically refined structures that effortlessly integrate into contemporary interiors, making them a compelling choice for discerning collectors.
Functionally, Counterpoint Wall Lamps are marvels of balance. The design encapsulates a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, casting a gentle glow that enhances the ambiance of any space. The adaptability of the lamps is underscored by their capacity to blend seamlessly with diverse decor styles, a testament to the enduring legacy of Raak's commitment to versatility.
Raak Amsterdam, a true vanguard in Dutch lighting design, played a pivotal role in shaping the visual landscape of the 1960s. Their meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to minimalist elegance laid the foundation for a design language that continues to resonate today. RAAK Amsterdam was started in the year 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn, who before was employed by Philips in the south of the Netherlands. RAAK had its main sales outlets in both Eindhoven and Amsterdam.The aim of the company was to advise for correct usage of lighting devices, in a way that these are adapted to the surrounding architecture. The name “RAAK” can be loosely translated as “bulls eye” in Dutch, i.e. the company hits the target with respect to its design and function. The designs produced by the company were aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective. These ideals are fully translated into the design of this pair;The design is clearly aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective.For collectors and connoisseurs alike, these Counterpoint Wall Lamps model "C-1626" stand as both a nod to history and a beacon of timeless style for contemporary interiors.Characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a commitment to functionalism. Their minimalist form, where form follows function with remarkable precision is achieved by the use of glass and metal.
With their unadorned bodies and a subtle play of light and shadow, the design fully utilizes the differently textured and coloured elements. The design is remarkable for its ability to seamlessly blend into diverse interior settings. The design has great proportions, to create an attention-grabbing look. When lit, these lamps create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the glass a warm, cosy colour as well.
Raak Amsterdam, the illustrious producer of these lights was renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Established in 1954, Raak quickly gained recognition for collaborating with exceptional designers like Jan-Willem Bosman. Their partnership produced timeless lighting solutions that continue to inspire contemporary designers and enthusiasts alike. This pair is a modernist design to its core with a look that is ageless and can stand out but also complement any space.
During its existence, RAAK collaborated with several famous designers such as Betrand Balas (Springfontein Lamp), Frank Ligtelijn (Globe Lamp) or Maija-Liisa Komulainen (Fuga lamp...
