Peill + Putzler Brügge Pendant Lamp
1979 Catalogue Picture
Translated text:
Bruges
The particularly interestingly designed rim, which appears on the one hand as ornamentation and then also as a suspension element, gives these magnificent, heavier luminaires their valuable, handcrafted character.
When lit, hundreds of small, sparkling bubbles detach themselves from the glass base and give the luminaire a lively structure, while the ambient light appears warm and pleasant. Bruges is available in many forms, so that maximum possibilities for combinations are ensured.

Peill + Putzler
Glashüttenwerk Peill und Sohn was founded in 1903 in Düren, a small town in (West) Germany. Peill und Sohn merged with Putzler (founded in 1869) in 1947 as a glass works and lighting company and became Peill + Putzler Glashüttenwerke.
The company always worked with important designers such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld, William Brown, Helmut Demary, Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Horst Tüselmann and many others.
In the 1950s 1500 people were working for the company. They also produced glass for other light companies in Europe, such as Raak, Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Massive from Belgium.
In 1995 the production of glass and lamps moved to Slovenia, Poland and the Czech Republic. Only the trading of lamps en glass stayed in Düren. 1 year after the 100th anniversary in 2004, bankruptcy was filed.
In 2008 the name Peill + Putzler was re-used for several years for among others the Wagenfeld lighting of the German lighting company of Paul Neuhaus.
Today the Peill + Putzler factory is named Glashütte Düren and is converted to many other businesses and conference centre.
Peill + Putzler is often written as Peill & Putzler but that is incorrect.
