Salvaged from the streets of Poland and carefully restored, this original mid-century street lantern once illuminated roads and public spaces across Eastern Europe. Designed for municipal use, the fixture reflects the robust, performance-led approach that defined Cold War–era public lighting.The lantern features a substantial two-part cast aluminium enclosure paired with its original oval prismatic glass lens. Engineered to diffuse light evenly while minimising glare, the prismatic glass creates a strong, directional glow suited to large-scale environments. The industrial clarity of the aluminium housing is softened by its naturally aged surface, retaining an honest patina developed through decades of outdoor use.Each lantern has been individually refurbished and reassembled by hand, preserving the character of the original materials while being fully rewired to meet modern electrical standards. The result is a striking pendant that translates civic infrastructure into an architectural interior object.Durable, sculptural, and rich in historical context, this piece brings an authentic Eastern Bloc modernist aesthetic to interiors. Particularly well suited to bars, restaurants, studios, and contemporary living spaces seeking statement lighting with genuine industrial provenance.Supplied complete with approximately 1 metre of ceiling hanging kit. Alternative hanging lengths can be accommodated on request.
