Era: 1950s Origin: GermanySalvaged German street lighting from Berlin with spun aluminium shade with a vintage industrial brushed finish.
Reference 14_1927
Origin: Germany
German designs are famed for their clean lined and well engineered approach. The Bauhaus School played a major role in combining design with engineering during the late 1920s and early 1930s. A number of lights we salvage were influenced by Bauhaus School design. From the mid to late 20th century, Communist East Germany produced a wide variety of lights for both industrial, commercial and residential applications, often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage.

Where possible we retain the original finish of a light - it is part of its history and emphasises its heritage. However, sometimes leaving a surface as we find it just isn’t possible. Some lights made from non-ferrous metals, such as aluminium, arrive so severely degraded we need to remove their outer layers to allow any further surface treatment to be applied. We do this using an environmentally friendly technique known as ‘soda blasting’. Soda blasting works by applying bicarbonate of soda to a surface under high pressure. The crystals explode at the point of impact and this ‘blasts’ the layer of degradation away - leaving the surface clean for the next stage in restoration.

A quick word from our customers
1940s industrial lights
The quality of what I bought (being around a third of the cost of their top end items) is exceptional. Recommended.

Beautiful light
What a great light - we're really happy with it! Delivery time was really quick too. Will be purchasing other lights from you in due course.

Wonderfully restored
Their product is invariably beautiful and wonderfully restored. To have lights that have seen so much and then get a second life is inspiring in many ways.
