Floor lamp Schliephacke Edition

Base, stand, reflector - the floor lamp SCHLIEPHACKE consists of a few very concise components. Its elementary appearance, this pure and self-evident form, makes the luminaire special. Originally, the lamp was designed for the furnishing of the rooms of the student union Eichkamp in Berlin-Grunewald. Because in this form of housing the spatial conditions were known to be cramped, Schliephacke created a universally applicable luminaire that can emit its light both directly and indirectly. SCHLIEPHACKE can be used as table lighting, next to the bed, sofa or as general room lighting.

The vertical part of the stand is in two parts, with the two aluminum spars connected by bolts in three places. The lower lamp arm can be placed upright between the spars and the bolts, or variably hooked between the bolts at an angle with grooves. The upper lamp arm is adjustable at the joint and lockable with a wing screw. The reflector can be rotated 360 °; the base plate is made of cast iron.

This floor lamp designed in 1959 by Fridtjof F. Schliephacke is produced on the occasion of the 60th anniversary in a limited edition of 250 pieces in the colors beige, gray, blue and red. Fine brass details adorn the lamps of the edition and an engraved brass ring on the bulb holder bears the serial number. Each luminaire comes with the book "Avantgarde of its Time - The Design Classics of Schliephacke and Ssymmank" by Nora Sobich and Martin Wallroth, which provides an impressive glimpse into the design history of Berlin in the 1960s with its numerous ambitious building projects and a lively, very distinct cultural scene. Here stood the lamp Schliephackes as a distinctive mark, virtually as a code, in some ways comparable with the black turtleneck sweater of French existentialism.

Socket E27 (max. 100 W). Grounding plug.
