Product description
The Linea pendant is a striking example of Czechoslovak design from the 1970s. Its shade, crafted from high-quality opaline glass, has an elongated, gently flaring form that feels both subtle and monumental. The minimalist silhouette, complemented by brass fittings with a natural patina, gives the lamp a timeless elegance that suits both modern and retro interiors.Historical background
This pendant was produced by Osvětlovací sklo, one of the leading Czechoslovak lighting manufacturers of the 20th century.
