Title: Bubbly Scandinavian-Looking Lightshade...
Post by: Pinkspoons on November 23, 2005, 11:15:19 PM: Any guesses, anyone? :) I've seen the shape before on vases, but never on a light fitting.

I've just had a look on the Raak website, and they've gone the way of Louis Poulsen, and have moved away from original and attractive lighting and have flocked towards cold industrial lighting. It's a shame.

To Max: It is, rather, isn't it? :D

I'm trying to figure out if there's space enough for it in my house. It screams bathroom to me.

Post by: Pinkspoons on November 24, 2005, 05:20:25 PM: A bit of Googling has helped me track down a few more vintage Raak lights with this bubbly glass, so they're quite a strong contender so far!
