This large classical shade belongs to the family of the ‘Blackbird’ and the ‘Black Swan’. These lights were commonly used during the DDR era, and was originally designed by the Bauhaus movement in the late 1920s. They were produced in large numbers by the manufacturer Leuchtenbau Leipzig in order to be used in light industrial areas like collective farms and railway stations.
