This highly expressive light fixture is the shorter version of the ‘Grey Giant Lobster’. The Grey River Lobster is considered a very rare piece. It is an explosion proof lamp comprising two parallel thick glass tubes connecting the solid cast-aluminium cylinders. The original reflection plate and protection cage is removed to emphasize its extraordinary appearance.
ORIGIN
Just like its larger brother, this lamp is salvaged from one of the largest laboratories in East Germany. After World War Two this laboratorium was part of the soviet military administration, and became one of the DDR’s state-owned companies until the reunification in the early nineties. It was hanging in a storage space which was most likely used for storing inflammable chemicals.
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. We present the lamp in it’s original finish, or re-finish the light in it’s original color. 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.
