This very discrete pendant light dates from the 1950s, and is related to both the ‘True Oyster’ and the ‘Soft-shell Clam’. Its pure and clean design features a porcelain base with a hand-blown glass dome, which creates an very special lighting effect. Although the Nautilus features a small steel rod, where it normally hung from, we made it possible to hang the lamp from its electrical cable, giving it a delicate and straightforward appearance.
These fixtures originate from a small military complex north of the German capital Berlin. They were hanging from the ceiling in one of the many barracks, that used to be the soldiers accommodations.
The Nautilus comes with:
– 42 watt halogen E27 bulb
– 1,5 meter matt black cable
– passport describing the history and origin of the lamp.
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.
