Vintage Design
Industrial design in the GDR, a field that has received very little attention: Wrongly so, in our opinion. Here we are showing a typical work light from VEB Zweckleuchtenbau Dresden. The base plate has 4 holes to permanently screw the light on, as an alternative to the clamp that is also provided. The lamp is painted in beige, typical of the time, and shows almost no signs of wear. The pressure switch is located in the bakelite junction box at the bottom of the lamp arm. The lamp arm can be tilted and rotated around the spike on the base plate. Lockable with large Bakelite wing nuts. A piece of gooseneck was used in the upper area of the lamp arm for flexible adjustment of the reflector. The design can be described as simply functional and not intrusive. The white pressed material of the reflector and the beige paint contrast very subtly with the dark red Bakelite. The lamp has the 1 for first quality level at the bottom of the lamp arm, the products marked with 1 were often used for export.
very few signs of wear. Rewired by our electrician, the interesting clamp joint lamp can be used again without restrictions.
