Set of 2 “Cricket” table lamps model R-60 – Raak Amsterdam (Otto Wasch)

These 2 cricket table lamps (model r-60) were designed by otto wasch (around 1968) and produced by raak amsterdam, one of the most important dutch lighting manufacturers of the 20th century. The lamps consist of a light metal tube (color: brushed silver) of 30 cm with a diameter of 5 cm and two pins. By moving the rods you can adjust the lamp to any desired position. The lamps have a pressure switch at the bottom of the lamp. According to the original catalogue, the lamp works best in combination with a mirrored lamp for indirect lighting of a painting or poster or with a silver bowl lamp for reading, twilight and slumber. These lamps are completely original and in good vintage condition considering their age (see photos). The lamps have been completely rewired (new black switch, black cord, socket) and are fully functional. All you have to do is foresee a light bulb and enjoy. The price is for the set (two pieces). The table lamp is included in the raak amsterdam light catalog of 1972: “one tube, two rods, a lamp. Could it be simpler. Hardly.” Dimensions: 23 cm (height) X 27 cm (width) – 5 cm (tube diameter).
