Designed by famed NAPAKO designer Josef Hurka, these 1950s pendants were born when industry was nationalised under communism in former Czechoslovakia. Sensitively restored without compromising the original factory finish, chrome plated enclosures house etched glass lenses that produce a striking glow when lit. Perfect for commercial receptions, hotels and lobbies. A larger version is also available.
Much of the lighting we salvage and restore from the former Eastern Bloc was produced in the manufacturing powerhouses of former Czechoslovakia. Under Communist rule the same design was often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage. The country is also famed for its beautiful glassware, with both wall and ceiling opaline glass lights often being used in public and residential settings, such as housing blocks and schools.
