This classical lamp shade was commonly used during the DDR era, and originally designed by the Bauhaus movement in the late 1920s. These lights were produced in large numbers by the lighting manufacturer Leuchtenbau Leipzig, in order to be used in light industrial areas like collective farms and railway stations. They feature an enameled shade with a bakelite connection box, and come in various types and sizes.
ORIGIN
The medium-sized shade with a stepped dome hung in one of the abandoned buildings of an East German ‘Kabelwerk’, a manufacturer of high-and low-voltage cables. Until the factory was closed in the early nineties, it was one of the lights that illuminated the manufacturing area from great height.
RESTORATION
All our lights are restored by hand with the greatest care. As unique piece of heritage, we seek to preserve the light’s authentic appearance. The lamp has been completely rewired to current standards, and fully assembled and tested to European Legislation, We hope that it may be preserved for many centuries to come.
