Vintage black chrome hanging lamp by Hillebrand Lighting, 1980s
This pendant lamp by Hillebrand is a stunning example of mid-century modern German lighting design. Known for their high-quality craftsmanship and sleek, functional aesthetics, Hillebrand lights were highly sought after during the mid-20th century. This piece features a streamlined black metal dome-shaped shade, contrasted with a white interior that enhances light reflection for a warm, diffused glow.
The design includes a polished chrome detail at the center, which extends into a pull mechanism for adjustable functionality—making it both practical and elegant. The coiled cord adds a dynamic, retro-industrial touch, characteristic of the period’s design innovations. The overall shape is minimalistic yet striking, a testament to the era’s balance between simplicity and sophistication.
