The story
Berkey Italia built studio lighting for Mole Richardson, the company that brought the Fresnel lens from the lighthouse to the film set. Lights like this one were rigged above and around Dutch television sets, which is why it was made to stand, hang or mount.
The restoration
We rewired the spotlight for a standard bulb and kept the housing, lens, barndoors and switch original, signs of use included.
In your interior
Hang it above a bar or kitchen island, set it on the floor in a corner, or place it on a sideboard. A flexible piece for restaurants, studios and homes that change their layout.
