The primary function – providing light – is of course the most important of all the functions of a luminaire. But on its own it does not sell yet. More than good light is required for that. Putzler luminaires have this.
They are designed according to functional criteria, but with us these include, beyond the purely lighting-technical aspect, also such imponderables – comprehensible only to the individual – as a differentiated aesthetic or a certain individuality of form.
All luminaires of the Amrum series diffuse glare-free light.
Material, finish:
Opal casing glass – crystal shading with black colour ring, safari-opal-crystal shading, jade-opal-crystal shading, opal cased with black marble décor, opal cased with multicoloured, chiefly brown and orange inclusions, opal cased with black stripes.
Fitting: metal, matt black; with possibility of compensation for unevennesses/imbalances in the glass.

Peill + Putzler
Glashüttenwerk Peill und Sohn was founded in 1903 by Leopold Peill 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, Wilhelm Braun Feldweg,William Brown, Gerhard Beigel, Dieter Sieger, 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.
In 1995 the production of glass and lights 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 called Glashütte Düren and is converted to many other businesses and conference centre.
Peill + Putzler received 86 iF Design awards.

Fuga
Architecture has always been the first to set those signs of a new or changed sense of style that are perceptible to the public. It most clearly translated the sense of style and form into function, because among all forms of artistic expression it is the one with the broadest purpose-related orientation. Whereas in earlier times the documentation of style and form was directed more from the outside to the inside, architecture today is designed to a much greater extent from the inside out. This change is the expression of a new understanding of the social task of architecture.
Palatial buildings as well as tenement barracks are equally outlived. What is sought is more solidity and individualism – also in the objects with which the architect designs interiors, such as light and luminaires.
The lighting set “Fuga ” is a good example of how traditional types of luminaires can be designed to suit today’s living style without giving up any of the charm of the traditional.
Material, finish:
Opal cased glass with multicoloured inclusions, chiefly brown and orange.
Fitting: metal, ground in brass colour; the pendant luminaire has a 600 mm long rod, polished in brass colour.

Among the many details that give a room radiance, individuality and personality, luminaires are among the most important. Luminaires have to fit into very different living areas – but they are always an important design factor in the room.
The design of our luminaires corresponds to today’s sense of form. Function, glass technology and craftsmanship find their synthesis in the design – design understood as achieving a perfect unity of universal practicality and individual beauty.
The Borkum series is exemplary of the many possibilities of variation that glass can offer, both for function and for application.
Material, finish:
Opal cased glass with coloured inclusions, chiefly in orange and brown tones; crystal with painted décors; all versions mouth-blown, hand-finished.
Fittings: metal, matt black (pendant). Metal, polished chrome colour and antique brass colour (table lamps).
