Options
This rare double tube fixture was mainly used to illuminate industrial buildings in East Germany. It originates from the beginning of the DDR era, and is one of the oldest fluorescent fixtures in our collection. As a close relative of the ‘Gazelle’ and the ‘Moose’, it expresses an elegant and sophisticated design. It comprises a cast-aluminium housing with a aluminium connection box, combined with a horizontal bar holding the two glass tubes.
ORIGIN
The lamp was salvaged from one of the oldest breweries in Berlin. For over a hundred years it was the source of one of the city’s top beers. Unfortunately, like many state-owned companies, the brewery went bankrupt as a result of the German reunification in the early 1990s. This particular lamp was hanging in the main building of the brewery.
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.
