This vintage ceiling or wall light from 1980s Germany embodies the utilitarian industrial aesthetic characteristic of late East German design. The main body features a thick, translucent glass shade in a cool, light blue tone, adorned with a repeating geometric starburst pattern arranged in a grid—giving the surface a distinctly three-dimensional, textured appearance. The shade sits securely atop a matte, brushed aluminum base with a clean cylindrical profile. Its compact proportions (19 x 19 cm, depth 15 cm) and geometric design reflect a commitment to functional form. Minor oxidation marks on the aluminum are present in keeping with its vintage origins, but all components remain in authentic, original condition without significant damage or wear. The fixture is compatible with an E27 bulb. Condition is classified as good, with visible details and integrity of the era well preserved.This light fixture seems to echo the narrative of industrial precision and restraint from 1980s East Germany. The cool blue glass, understated by day, diffuses light into soft, geometric shadows by night, casting a subtle grid across the room. The aluminum base introduces an element of pragmatic solidity, and the regular motif of the glass shade offers a disciplined cadence—where illumination and form meet on the straightforward terms of late-century functional craftsmanship.The fixture could be incorporated seamlessly into interiors with a raw, industrial tone—pairing well with exposed brick, concrete, or neutral walls in a living room or hallway. It can be combined with other minimalist metal pieces, or hung alone above a side table to spotlight the glass's relief texture. This lamp would also work as an accent in collector’s vintage or eclectic
