Mid century space age wall / desk lamp

Stunning spot light in chrome with circular and elongated recesses. The chrome spheres are provided with a plastic layer inside, which gives the shade an extra 3d effect. The shade also contains a beautiful transparent glass chalice with a small diamond-shaped motif.

Manufactured by The Belgium company Massive production period 1960-1969

Massive lamps are often sold as lamps from Raak, Amsterdam. This is because Massive lamps rarely have a label,and the Raak name sells better, and for more money.

Massive was in origin a bronze foundry and they produced mainly candlesticks, crucifixes and chandeliers in Wilrijk near Antwerp, Belgium. The company was founded in 1926 by Pieter-Jozef De Jaeck. His son Eddy De Jaeck was responsible for the huge expansion of the company in shops the 1970s. But it were his sons, Piet and Jan De Jaeck who made Massive a true multinational. In the 1980s Massive became the leading brand in Europe.

When the takeover by Philips was announced in November 2006 Massive commercialised more than 10.000 lighting products under brand names such as Massive, TRIO and Lirio. The group had about 5.000 employees worldwide and was active in 70 countries.
