RAAK

In Dutch, “raak” means “to hit” or “to hit the nail on the head.” Lighting company RAAK certainly accomplished that with its unique mid-century modern designs of futuristic, Space Age metal lamps, pendants and other lighting creations.

RAAK was founded in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn (1923–2004), a former employee of the Philips Lighting company in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Under the tagline “Illuminated Architecture,” RAAK focused on producing elegant, sophisticated and modern lighting that would blend seamlessly with high-concept interiors.

During the 1960s, one of RAAK’s most well-known designs came from its in-house designer, Frank Ligtelijn, who created the Globe 2000 series of glass and chrome floor lamps, pendants and wall lights. Another key collaboration was with Dutch artist and glassmaker Willem van Oyen, who produced the iconic Chartres wall lights in 1964. Van Oyen’s Brutalist design evoked melted paintings and was inspired by the stained glass windows in the Chartres Cathedral in France.

In the 1970s, RAAK worked with several influential international artists, such as Italian designers Sergio Asti, Giotto Stoppino and Cesare Casati and Emanuele Ponzio, and Finnish designers Maija Liisa Komulainen (best known for her metallic, cylindrical Fuga lamp) and Tapio Wirkkala, creator of the handblown crystal Suomi pendant lamps.

Through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, RAAK enjoyed enormous success throughout Europe and worldwide for its modern lamps and decorative lighting. In 1974, Lockhorn sold RAAK to the furniture company ITT but remained its director until 1977. In 1980, RAAK merged with BIS Lighting and was renamed BISRAAK. Then, in 1999, the company entered into another merger, this time with Artilite B.V. and Indoor B.V., and became the Center for Light Architecture. It declared bankruptcy in 2011.

RAAK lighting continues to be highly coveted today among interior designers and avid vintage furniture collectors.

Stunning Pair of Murano Glass Wall Sconces / Wall Lights by Leucos, Italy, 1980s

By Leucos

Located in Lisse, NL

Excellent condition Leucos Murano glass sconces with blue rim and V-shaped mounts. A remarkable pair of sculptural wall lights by Leucos, produced in Italy during the 1980s. These pieces are exemplary of Italian craftsmanship and design, made from hand-blown Murano glass — with a smooth opaline center framed by a beautifully curved turquoise-blue rim. Two small decorative glass dots near the top add a playful touch of artisanal detail. The glass shades are mounted on sharply angled, black V-shaped metal bases that provide a bold architectural contrast to the softness of the glass. Behind each bulb lies a hammered reflector surface that helps diffuse the light evenly. When lit, these sconces produce a warm, atmospheric glow with a delicate blue halo cast onto the wall — a classic Murano lighting effect that transforms the space with elegance and subtle drama. Thanks to the original wall brackets (inside) they are easy to mount and these fine specimens could not be in a better condition. They are wired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and our price for this pair includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days. Maximum width x height x depth: 12.1 x 10.7 x 3.7 inches. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past.
