This floor lamp was designed in the late fifties by Frank Ligtelijn, a jewelry designer, and produced by the Dutch company RAAK. It is made of a black cast iron tripod base with a chromed metal adjustable rod and a chrome screw. The top consists of a chrome curved slat and ring with rubbers that hold the brown smoked glass globe in place. Inside the globe, there is an aluminum reflector and lamp-holder. A great piece that shows the early design of RAAK, known for their organic modern design of the 1960s and 1970s which combined glass and metals for a sophisticated futuristic style. This lamp is in very good condition, with very few traces of wear according to its age. Works with lamps up to 75W. Light bulb included.
