The dimmable Gazelle lighting fixtures have been features with fluorescent tube covers, to emit a very warm light during Bar Franklin’s nightly programs.

This very rare fluorescent fixture was manufactured by VEB Metallwaren-werk, and was mainly used in the lighter industry of East Germany. It originates from the beginning of the DDR era, and is, together with the ‘Red Deer‘ and the ‘Moose‘, the oldest fluorescent fixture within our collection. It comprises a cast-aluminium housing with a horizontal bar connecting the two aluminium ends that hold the tube.

ORIGIN
The fixture was found in the main building on the terrain of one of the largest laboratories in East Germany. After WWII this lab was part of the soviet military administration, and became a state-owned companies until the reunification in the early nineties. Together with several others this lamp illuminated the rest rooms of the laboratory.

RESTORATION
All our lights are restored by hand with the greatest care. As unique piece of heritage, we seek to preserve the light’s authentic appearance. We present the lamp in it’s original finish, or re-finish the light in it’s original color. The lamp has been completely rewired to current standards, and fully assembled and tested to European Legislation, We hope that it may be preserved for many centuries to come.

Wescover creator since 2018
Blom & Blom is about two brothers who share a passion for unique items. Epic in their origin and design, and each with its own story to tell. Items often overlooked but always with a hidden potential, calling out to be discovered and appreciated. Items so special that they deserve a new life.

We craft lighting fixtures inspired by our fascination with industrial artifacts. Our Heritage Collection offers a selection of distinctive lamps recovered from abandoned factories, and carefully restored with respect for their past. Each comes with a ‘passport’, sharing its own unique history.

Under the name ‘Blom & Blom Editions’, we also present our own creations. With this singular collection, we transform ‘ordinary’ industrial objects into phenomenal design. By taking them beyond their original purpose and into a new dimension, we aim to reveal the essence and purity of the object itself.

All of our pieces are handcrafted in Amsterdam by a team of craftsmen, designers and engineers. We also develop bespoke lighting concepts for architects and interior designers, and enjoy seeing our work come to life in interiors around the world.
