The lamps are offered in different offers here on the platform. Original Mid-Century Modern. The Peill und Sohn glassworks in Düren, destroyed in the Second World War, & the Putzler brothers' glassworks in Penzig, expropriated by the Polish state, merged in 1946. This gave rise to the Düren plant with directors Günther Peill & Hans Ahrenkiel under the name Peill + Putzler in 1952. The first glass was melted in 1948. This important glassworks had to cease operations in 1994. Important designers such as Prof. Wagenfeld, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg & Aloys F. Gangkofner worked for the Peill + Putzler glassworks & made it famous, especially in architectural circles. The collaboration with Aloys F. Gangkofner lasted from 1953 to 1958 & resulted in a large number of lighting models & goblet glass sets. The timeless Iris glass was produced & sold until the 1980s. Aloys F. Gangkofner developed new techniques for blowing up the lighting fixtures, which he had already tested in the free-blowing process in Waldsassen. The implementation of these techniques for industrial production freed the forms from the functional austerity of the early 1950s & gave them individual independence. The lighting fixtures not only served their purpose, but were also an accentuated form for the modern room when unlit. One particularly successful model was "Venezia".
