Origin: Czechoslovakia (former)

Much of the lighting we salvage and restore from the former Eastern Bloc was produced in the manufacturing powerhouses of former Czechoslovakia. Under Communist rule the same design was often manufactured in three scaled versions to cater for varying bulb wattage. The country is also famed for its beautiful glassware, with both wall and ceiling opaline glass lights often being used in public and residential settings, such as housing blocks and schools.

Restoration

Vintage lights were made to last. Manufactured before the era of planned obsolescence between the 1920s to the 1970s, each one brings its own authentic story, history, and as you might imagine, signs of age and patina. At skinflint these are the elements that we like to preserve - that’s why we sensitively restore each light to maintain the nuances that make them different, but always ensure they’re brought up to modern day electrical standards.

Love the lights, love your ethos. Absolutely what more companies need to be doing. I have my Retro Czech Ceiling Lights (V2) in my dining room and the spray of light they give off is gorgeous and unusual.
