RAAK Amsterdam Cascade Pendant Light

A striking example of Dutch mid-century lighting design, this five-piece cascade pendant by RAAK Amsterdam captures the experimental spirit of 1970s interiors. Each suspended light features a textured glass diffuser, reminiscent of ice or Brutalist crystal encased in polished chrome and adorned with a distinctive orange polka-dot band.

The interplay between industrial materials and playful colour speaks to RAAK’s design philosophy: merging functional form with sculptural ambition. Often installed in stairwells or entryways, this piece was as much architectural statement as it was lighting solution.

This version, accented in orange, is a rarer variant of the better-known chrome-and-glass model, lending it a distinctly Pop-inflected edge. A testament to the Dutch design house’s willingness to blur boundaries between the modern and the whimsical.
