About the Item

This rare ceiling or wall sconce was produced by the German manufacturer Cosack Leuchten during the 1960s. It is a true gem of post-war design. The lamp captivates with its dynamic, architectural form, composed of 19 slender arms terminating in light points. Each arm is crafted from brass metal with a natural patina, lending a refined, slightly industrial character. The base is a round. It's not just a lamp - it's light captured in form, invariably drawing attention and creating atmosphere. This Cosack model is a lamp with soul. Bold, spacious, and full of rhythmic harmony, it will bring not only light to the interior but also the story of an era when design was a supremely applied art. The lamp is the focal point of the interior, whether hung from the ceiling or on the wall. It will perfectly complement spaces with vintage, retro, or mid-century styles, as well as stark, minimalist arrangements, where it can serve as an artistic accent. In an era of mass production and repetitive forms, this lamp is a statement of individuality. This rare Cosack model, with its 19 light sources, is a collector's item. Perfect for interior designers and enthusiasts of 20th-century design. Cosack Leuchten is one of the most recognizable German lighting manufacturers, active primarily in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The company was renowned for its innovative designs that combined the precision of German craftsmanship with the modern, often experimental design characteristic of the MCM era. Cosack pioneered the production of lamps that not only illuminated spaces but also served as fully-fledged decorative elements, in keeping with the aesthetics of Modernism, Brutalism, and the Space Age. Their designs, often based on geometric forms, brass finishes, and expressive structures, are still sought after by design collectors and interior designers worldwide. The lamp is in original vintage condition. It shows signs of age-related wear and has a natural patina. Bulbs are not included and must be individually adjusted to your needs. The lamp requires E14 bulbs. The colors of the products shown in the photos may differ slightly from the actual ones. This is due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions – the photos were taken in artificial light, which may affect the perception of colors. However, we strive to ensure that the photos reflect the actual appearance of the product as faithfully as possible.
