About the Item

These Glashütte Limburg wall lamps are a playful example of the rebellion against the sleek minimalism of the mid-century modern style. Early 1970s design accelerated the emergence of bold personal expression with an explosion of new shapes and textures to saturate households. As difficult as it may be to imagine, this model’s main feature is its material, not its shape. It is made of high-quality, hand-blown luminaire glass, in which a wafer-thin layer of opal glass is enclosed between two crystal glass layers, thus it distributes the light uniformly and pleasantly in the room. The main role of the whimsical seashell design is to highlight the beauty of the three-ply opal glass. In their catalogue, Glashütte Limburg stated that “sand is one of the most precious raw materials in the manufacture of glass – and perhaps this is why we feel a special bond to the seashell.” The satin-matte surface of the hand-blown glass glows beautifully when the light is turned on, creating an ambient mood while also highlighting the sculpted seashell form. Additionally to its aesthetic perks, opal glass has many great qualities. It stands out for its elegance, resistance, and practicality which is why it has steadily been around since the 16th century. As a flush mount, the lamp is close to the wall, connecting to it by a metal backplate that is enamelled white. Glashütte Limburg is a true manufacturer, where impeccable craftsmanship remained in the focus throughout the past decades. While the designer of this model is unknown, many lamps of the company were designed by the Designabteilung Glashütte Limburg (design department) or Atelier Glashütte Limburg.
