This unique floor lamp has been created from an original ‘DDR’ street lantern, and a heavy cast-iron stand. The lantern is characterized by its typical sphere-shaped dome made out of smoked glass, and originally featured a sort of reflection ‘hat’. The lamp has been featured with a large decorative bulb to create a warm amber-colored reflection by the chromed panel holding the glass dome.
The light’s cast-iron stand is an old sewer pipe, that has been recovered from the Amsterdam soil during road works. The pipe has been in the ground for decades, and provides a beautiful ‘tension’ with the delicacy of the glass dome. At the same time, the stand and its dish-shaped socket give the floor lamp the stability it needs.
The Suricate comes with a decorative E40 incandescent bulb, a 1,5 meter matt black cable with grounded plug, and its passport describing the history and origin of the lamp.
