Frank Ligtelijn ‘‘Globe’’ wall lamp for Raak Amsterdam 1962

Available and in very good condition with minor traces of wear consistent with age and use

The Globe wall lamp, designed by Frank Ligtelijn in 1982 for Raak Amsterdam, stands as a striking example of minimalist elegance combined with functional design. Featuring a beautifully smoke-brown spherical globe glass shade, the lamp offers an innovative twist — its shade can be positioned according to your own preferred direction, giving the user a sense of control over the lighting experience. This flexibility not only allows for customized illumination but also adds a dynamic element to the lamp's aesthetic, ensuring it can adapt to various spaces and settings.

The globe glass shade is cradled by a sleek chrome basket-like ring, which both supports the delicate glass and adds a touch of industrial sophistication. The chrome ring's clean, geometric lines contrast beautifully with the soft curves of the globe, creating a harmonious balance between form and function. The design speaks to a modernist sensibility while remaining timeless, making it a perfect addition to contemporary interiors or as a statement piece in more eclectic spaces.

Produced by Raak Amsterdam, a company known for its innovative lighting designs, the Globe wall lamp reflects the brand's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. Ligtelijn's creation continues to be celebrated for its understated elegance and versatile functionality, embodying the essence of 1980s design while maintaining a place in modern homes and commercial spaces.
