With the 1960s came the accentuated use of glass elements and vintage Italian lights manufacturing companies like Venini and Mazzega had a strong influence on the modernization of lighting design. Palwa (Palme and Walter) is one of the oldest lighting company in Germany and originally came from Bohemia, the heart of Europe s glass makers for centuries. The 1960s was an important transition period for this manufacturer of high-end lighting fixtures, just like it was for other prestigious producers like Bakalowits, Lobmeyer and Kinkeldey, however Palwa´s designs were radically progressive without sacrificing on exclusivity and tradition. The unique compositions between crystal and gilded brass were directly inspired by the 1960s fashion designers like Courreges, Saint Laurent and often took inspiration in high end jewelry.
