Counterpoint Wall Lamps "C-1626" by Raak, The Netherlands 1960s
By RAAK
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the realm of mid-20th century Dutch design, these model "C-1626" wall lamps remain fascinating designs defined by the contrast of the smooth-round satin-matt glass and the angular-straight grey metal. Produced by RAAK Amsterdam and envisioned during the 1960s, this pair stands as evidence to the era's minimalist aesthetic. Hailing from the 1960s, these wall lamps are not only embodiments of simplicity and elegance, showcasing a design ethos that continues to captivate admirers today, but also illustrate how minimalist design can be so ingenious and expressive at the same time.
These so-called Counterpoint Wall Lamps, specifically, model "C-1626" lamps by Raak Amsterdam exemplify the sophisticated and minimalist design ethos that defined 1960s lighting in the Netherlands. Crafted during an era where form and function coalesced seamlessly, these lamps remain enduring testaments to the timeless appeal of mid-century modernism.
The essence of the Counterpoint Wall Lamps lies in their deliberate counterplay between simplicity and efficacy. Raak's design philosophy, epitomized in these C-1626 models, embraces clean lines and uncluttered aesthetics.

The adaptability of the lamps is underscored by their capacity to blend seamlessly with diverse decor styles, a testament to the enduring legacy of Raak's commitment to versatility.
Raak Amsterdam, a true vanguard in Dutch lighting design, played a pivotal role in shaping the visual landscape of the 1960s. Their meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to minimalist elegance laid the foundation for a design language that continues to resonate today. RAAK Amsterdam was started in the year 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn, who before was employed by Philips in the south of the Netherlands. RAAK had its main sales outlets in both Eindhoven and Amsterdam.The aim of the company was to advise for correct usage of lighting devices, in a way that these are adapted to the surrounding architecture. The name “RAAK” can be loosely translated as “bulls eye” in Dutch, i.e. the company hits the target with respect to its design and function. The designs produced by the company were aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective. These ideals are fully translated into the design of this pair;The design is clearly aimed at being modest, elegant, and effective.For collectors and connoisseurs alike, these Counterpoint Wall Lamps model "C-1626" stand as both a nod to history and a beacon of timeless style for contemporary interiors.Characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a commitment to functionalism. Their minimalist form, where form follows function with remarkable precision is achieved by the use of glass and metal.
With their unadorned bodies and a subtle play of light and shadow, the design fully utilizes the differently textured and coloured elements. The design is remarkable for its ability to seamlessly blend into diverse interior settings. The design has great proportions, to create an attention-grabbing look. When lit, these lamps create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the glass a warm, cosy colour as well.
Raak Amsterdam, the illustrious producer of these lights was renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Established in 1954, Raak quickly gained recognition for collaborating with exceptional designers like Jan-Willem Bosman. Their partnership produced timeless lighting solutions that continue to inspire contemporary designers and enthusiasts alike. This pair is a modernist design to its core with a look that is ageless and can stand out but also complement any space.
During its existence, RAAK collaborated with several famous designers such as Betrand Balas (Springfontein Lamp), Frank Ligtelijn (Globe Lamp) or Maija-Liisa Komulainen (Fuga lamp...

A Pair of "GA9" Wall Lights by Erik Gunnar Asplund for ASEA, Sweden 1940s
By ASEA, Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Utrecht, NL
“GA9” appears to be inspired by a droplet, floating upward the wall. The mouth blown glass with bubbles creates an intricate play between light and shadow, giving the appearance of light travelling through water.
Swedish architect and designer, Erik Gunnar Asplund, is celebrated as the godfather of functionalist design in Sweden. Like his celebrated Stockholm City Library, these lamps emphasize geometric simplicity and clarity of form. The construction of this model is ingenious, with a bent arm holding the glass in place, with yet another arm holding the light source in the centre of the luminaire. The black lacquered metal bends organically into sinuous forms, while the backplates have a polygon shape. Pairing the geometric elements with the more organic ones shows Asplund’s great eye for design that was well ahead of his time. The large, mushroom-like mouth blown glass shades have distinctive “drops” on their surfaces, creating a beautiful effect that becomes even more apparent when the light is on. The atmospheric light it creates is not measurable, nor is it functional in the traditional sense. It is easily forgotten, but nevertheless important when creating a space of wellbeing. It is the most basic and fundamental of all lighting principles, one that has been with us since the dawn of time. Asplund’s life and work served as inspiration to a number of Scandinavian design luminaries, such as lifelong friend and mentee Alvar Aalto, as well as Erik Bryggman...
