The Little Pearl Oyster is considered a true classic. Its pure and timeless design, that has been in production since the 1920s, was strongly influenced by the Bauhaus-movement. It consists of a thick, angled porcelain base that has two distinct hubs on the side, and a hand-blown glass dome. The lamp’s dome was produced by blowing molten glass directly into a mould, effecting a smooth outer finish. The small bubbles or other imperfections in the glass dome are an illustration of its handcrafted creation.
The fixture was salvaged from the premises of a former state-owned manufacturing company. After the reunification in the early nineties many of these state-owned companies were sold by the government. As the new owners often only used a fragment of the extensive premises, the majority of the buildings have remained deserted and neglected for more than two decades.
The Little Pearl Oyster comes with:
– special 46 watt E27 halogen bulb
– 1,5 meter matt black cable
– passport describing its history and origin.
The fixture has been completely rewired to current standards, and is assembled and tested to EN 60598 directive of European Harmonized Legislation. US & Canada wiring available on request.
