The White Rhino is a distinctive East German lighting fixture that clearly reflects the DDR design principle of ‘form follows function’. This pendant-variant of the ‘Black Rhino’ is constructed from a glass tube, connecting two solid cast-aluminum end-pieces. It furthermore features two aluminium rings by which it can be suspended from the ceiling.
ORIGIN
The fixture that was salvaged from an abandoned, state-owned factory, has been specifically designed to prevent inflammable gases, vapours, or dusts from penetrating the lamp. It was therefore often applied in explosion-sensitive surroundings, like laboratories and chemical plants.
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.
DETAILS
The White Rhino can be supplied with either fluorescent or LED tubes in different color temperatures (type of warmth), and in a variety of dimming options. Standard the light comes with 3.0m long cable, 2.0m suspension wires, and black canopy. Other lengths for cable and suspension wires possible on request, please specify in comments at check out. The White Rhino will be accompanied by its passport, documenting the history and origin of the lamp.
110 volt options, US & Canada wiring, and other specialties are available.
