Pendant Light Charlottenburg – Berlin Elegance in the Light of the Turn of the Century
Around 1905, when the first electric salons opened in Charlottenburg and the tram ran along Kantstraße, handcrafted lights shaped the cityscape. The Charlottenburg pendant light in Berlin brass with gray satin-finished glass recalls that time, when light was still considered a true event. Its harmonious brass body is crafted in Berlin workshops, polished by hand, and finished with the characteristic patina that only Berlin brass possesses. Five gently shimmering glass shades diffuse the light evenly, like candles in the mirrored glass of a ballroom. The light combines stability, grace, and functionality – just like the district itself, which around 1910 was regarded as the epitome of modern living. It brings the atmosphere of classic city apartments into the present and provides a warm, subdued light reminiscent of evenings lit by gaslight – without the smoke, but with all of its magic.
