Set wall lamps C-1646 by Tapio Wirkkala for Raak, 1964 – Rare Model, Mouth-blown Amber Yellow Glass
€ 2.400
incl. BTW (indien van toepassing) volgens de margeregelingTapio Wirkkala wall lamps, model C-1646, designed by Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) for Raak Amsterdam in 1964. The lamps are mouth-blown, a technically complex process due to the fragile shape. The design consists of an opal silk matt inner shade, enveloped by an outer shade of amber yellow glass, attached to a bronze-coloured metal fixture. The combination of materials and colours creates a warm and diffused light. Dimensions: h x w x d = 24 x 18 x 23 cm, height from frame 22 cm, jump from wall plate 21 cm, glass diameter 18 cm, weight 2.2 kg per lamp. These lamps can also be used with a cord and plug. Wirkkala, known for his innovative designs in glass and wood, is considered one of the most influential Finnish designers of the 20th century. In the early 1960s, he designed a series of lamps for Raak, including this model. The lamps are documented in Raak catalogue 5 (1962, p. 28) and catalogue 6 (p. 18). In addition, Raak founder Lockhorn confirmed in an article that these sconces were actually designed by Tapio Wirkkala.
These sconces are in very good condition, with minimal signs of use; no cracks, crazing or chips in the glass. The wiring has been checked by an electrician and is functioning properly.

Shipment is for free within the Netherlands and to Antwerp, Brussels, Paris and Berlin. Postal packages within the EU are included in the webshop prices as well. If the items you choose are too big for a postal package, we can make you a custom quote. That is also the case for shipment outside the EU, we ship worldwide.
Shipping costs will be calculated during the ordering process in our webshop. If the shipping costs can't be calculated online (yet), you can choose to request a custom quote. We will let you know the shipping costs as soon as possible.
If you have specific wishes regarding the delivery of bigger items, like express delivery of the second floor, it is possible that we quote additional costs.

MARGIN SCHEME, NORMAL VAT (B2B within the EU) AND EXPORT
All prices in our webshop are in euro's and VAT included (if applicable). By default we use the margin scheme, a special tax regulation for used goods. All prices are vat included, but there is no vat amount mentioned on the invoice. Outside Europe we use the same prices. To compensate, we don't charge additional payment- and handling costs.
Do you have a company with the right to deduct VAT? We can also create normal VAT-quotes and/of invoices. For companies within the Netherlands against 21% vat and for EU companies against 0% btw (an intra-Community supply requires a valid EU VAT-number). The normal vat-quote can be requested via de webshop or the contacttab.
For Dutch companies the total amount including vat will be higher, because we will have to calculate and charge vat on the total amount. The vat excluded amount will be lower and makes this opportunity interesting.
