Set of Four Geometric Wall Lamps by Raak, The Netherlands Mid-20th Century

Creator: RAAK
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Founded in Amsterdam in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn, Raak established itself as one of 20th century’s leading innovators in modern Dutch lighting design. The company was known for its bold, sculptural fixtures that merged artful expression with technology. During the mid to late 20th century, Raak embraced geometric forms and experimental materials, creating lighting that felt architectural as well as functional.

This set of four geometric wall lamps exemplifies the manufacturer’s signature approach. They feature a striking combination of opal glass and black lacquered metal. The glass shades are sculpted into angular, faceted forms that diffuse light with a warm, gentle glow through their milky-white material. The marriage between the glass and metal elements lends the lamps a dynamic, sophisticated presence even when they are turned off. The black metal back-plates create a dramatic contrast to the soft, translucent glass, emphasizing the geometric interplay that defines the design. The unique shapes and clean edges speak to the manufacturer’s commitment to precision and high-quality craftsmanship. Functionally, these lamps provide both ambient lighting, whether mounted together along a hallway or spread throughout a house as standalone wall pieces.

These wall lamps truly embody the mid and late 20th century philosophy of lighting as both a functional object and artistic element, as exemplified by European manufacturers. With their bold lines and refined material palette, they celebrate the spirit of modern Dutch design and remain timeless additions to contemporary or vintage-inspired interiors.
