ABOUT PRODUCTID 11132
The ceiling light shade by OPP Jihlava, produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the bold, functional design language of mid-century modernism. Crafted from thick, high-quality opaline glass, it stands out with a saturated, glossy cherry red surface that reflects light with almost mirror-like intensity. The silhouette is smooth and unadorned, featuring a rounded, mushroom-inspired form that narrows elegantly at the base. The crisp white interior is engineered for optimal light diffusion, ensuring a balanced and pleasant illumination. The partially preserved original manufacturer's label adds to the authenticity and collectible appeal. The piece is preserved in very good condition, displaying minimal, barely perceptible signs of age typical for the period.This shade tells the story of Central European modernism of the 1960s, when color and light became a new visual language for daily life. Its deep red hue and soft geometry reflect the era's spirit of innovation and expressive confidence, when designers sought to fuse practicality with boldness. The high-gloss glass surface captures and amplifies ambient light, casting a striking, almost theatrical glow—evoking the lively energy and optimism of its time.The shade works best as a focal point within an interior, where its color and form can take center stage. It could be paired with light, neutral furnishings to highlight the depth of the glass red, and would suit a living room above a coffee table, a kitchen over an island, or a dining area seeking an authentic mid-century accent. It may be combined with aluminum or wooden details, as well as ceramics and textiles in shades of grey or beige, to create a composition inspired by Central European modernist aesthetics.
