Mid-Century Space Age Wall Disc Light from Teka, Germany, 1960s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Pair of Space Age Flush lights from the 1960s, manufactured by Teka in Germany (labeled).

These lights were commissioned / selected by Charlotte Perriand for the interior design of the flats of the 'Les Arcs' and Méribel Ski Resorts in the French Alps.

This is the small size (diameter 27cm / 10,63"). Original orange paint finish (rare find).

The lamps are in a nice state, with some very very small white paint dribbles, small scratches on the outside and paint loss on some areas of the edge. But these defaults are only visible when approaching very closely.

The wall light should be used with a mirror head bulb (which do now exist with LED technology). The lamps will work in the US. Socket E26/E27.

About the Creator

Charlotte Perriand

Born in Paris in 1903, Charlotte Perriand studied at the Ecole de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs. In 1927, inspired by his architectural treatises, Perriand persuaded Le Corbusier to employ her. He put her in charge of prototype production and public presentations of the studio’s work. In collaboration with Pierre Jeanneret, Perriand developed a series of tubular steel chairs, which were—and are still today—hailed as icons of the machine age.

In 1940, she travelled to Japan as an official advisor on industrial design. When Japan joined the war, she found herself trapped in Vietnam from 1942 until 1946. During her exile, Perriand studied local techniques of woodwork and weaving. She returned to France intent on introducing straw and bamboo to modern design.

Back in France, Perriand continued her work with Le Corbusier and Prouvé. She was integral to the design of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. She remained an influential figure in the modern movement until her death in 1999.
