ABOUT PRODUCTID 10871
This pendant lamp, designed by Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner and produced in Germany during the 1960s, embodies the distinctive aesthetics of the mid-century modern era. The shade, measuring 38 cm in height and 36 cm in diameter, is constructed from diamond-shaped panels made of high-quality plastic that closely imitates glass, complemented by a central shade of clear glass. Its translucent, subtly ivory white tone with a delicate yellowish hue serves as a backdrop for the rich, faceted structure that diffuses light in a visually engaging manner. The upper mounting and central stem are crafted from metal with a polished, silvery mirror finish, creating a contrast with the shade’s semi-matte, satin surface. The overall proportions are typical of the 1960s, emphasizing precise workmanship and cohesive detailing. The lamp is in good condition, with visible scratches and wear on the metal elements, consistent with its age and use. This lamp channels the voice of 1960s German design: geometric panels form a rhythmic grid of light, as if recounting a story of optimism and technological imagination from that decade. The nuanced ivory tones and tempered reflections across the shade evoke early evenings in modernist interiors, where lighting served not just a functional role but also adorned and shaped the mood of daily life. The lamp can be suspended above a round table in a living room or dining area, where the three-dimensional texture of the shade will highlight the architectural rhythm of the space. It pairs well with simple wooden furniture and upholstered seating from the era, as well as with minimalist metal or glass accessories. It will also suit contemporary interiors, acting as a subtle yet striking accent against plain walls and natural textiles.
