A Dutch design icon, this anvia elbow or paperclip light. Great petrol and white industrial color combination.
During the fifties, Anvia developed a great number of subtle lighting designs for mainly home use. Thanks to the use of elementary shapes made out of folded steel and slender tubes their designs outshine in an elegant appearance and evoke a great midcentury atmosphere.
Thanks to the metal swinging arm suspension and the metal ball-socket joint the lights can be directed in all positions. This genuin early fifties edition originally comes with an open wall suspension.
Good condition and in perfect working order. Very practical design for many purposes; would look great in a small place in your fifties minded home or small studio.
