History

In the roaring twenties, lamps were designed that are still considered to be advanced when it comes to lighting technique and aestheticism today. The world famous Gispen Original lamps also belong in this category. They were designed by W.H. Gispen (1890-1981) and have become true design classics ever since they were produced in 1926. Gispen was able to go from a decorative artist to a functional designer within the walls of his own factory. His products became more businesslike and functional in the twenties. In 1926, he began creating an extensive collection of lamps to which, in 1927, the brand Giso was attached. Their fixtures have opal-coulered "glass balloons" and adhered (as they still do today) to the photometric, economic and aesthetic demands. It was also around this time that the Bauhaus lamps were launched on the market and that Gispen mirrored them to complete his own designs. The designs became standardised and this insured that the combining of parts from different lamps became possible. A plenitude of materials were offered (and are still offered); from brown bronzed, black bronzed, matte nickel-plated, polished nickel-plated to chromed copper. Even the choice of glass has become more diverse; matte or glossy opal-coloured glass for lampshades shaped like bowls and spheres. Choices remain diverse, so there is a perfect Gispen lamp for every interior.
