ABOUT PRODUCTID 5204
This ceiling or wall fixture by VEB Gorlitz, produced in Germany during the 1980s, combines thick, pressed glass with a warm, gold-toned aluminum base. The clear glass shade features a repeating relief pattern of radiating starbursts or sun motifs, each set within a square grid—a decorative detail that both defines its character and diffuses light to cast subtle reflections on surrounding surfaces. The cylindrical base, finished in matte, brushed gold, complements the glass texture, while the compact dimensions (19 × 19 × 15 cm) give the lamp a versatile, balanced presence. The construction is solid, and the E27 socket allows for a wide range of light sources. It is preserved in very good condition—no chips or cracks in the glass, only minor, age-consistent surface marks on the metal base. The form of this fixture evokes the spirit of late modernism at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s: an era when geometric design met industrial simplicity, and light—filtered through textured glass—became part of the room’s composition. The transparency of the shade and the golden accents recall an aesthetic where function and decoration merge naturally, with every beam of light transformed into a play of shadow and shine. This lamp seems to tell a story of interiors seeking clarity, yet unwilling to forgo subtle visual gestures. It can be used as either a ceiling or wall lamp—suited for living rooms, hallways,
