WALL LIGHTS ‘NIGHT OWL’

DESIGN: RAAK AMSTERDAM

MEASUREMENTS: H 20 W 21 D 19 CM

SET- PRICE: 850,- EURO

Two subtle metal wall lights produced by the Raak lighting company in the 1960ies. The fixtures are made out of sheet black metal elements forming a powerful graphic shape that reminds of a bird / owl.

The light shines diffused through the opaque plexiglass portholes in the front and a bit to the surroundings on the wall. Clever Dutch design: The portholes can be diffused independent by twisting two knobs in the front. the The modest size and the black color makes this a perfect set of lights in any mix and match or vintage interior. Raak catalogue model nr c 1651.
Fixtures are suitable for build-in-wall and wiring up to 240 volt. One normal E27 bulbholder for modern LED bulbs. Both good condition, great opportunity to purchase as a pair.
