TC100 coffee cups designed in 1959 by Nick Roericht and made by Thomas Rosenthal, Germany. Roericht designed the TC100 range for his thesis at the Ulm School of Design in 1959.
Price is per cup (8 available). 3 saucers also available separately (£8 each).
I think technically these are tea cups but more useful as small coffee cups. 8cm diameter x 5.5cm high.
A true display of form following function, Roericht was interested in robustness and practicality. The design was quickly snapped up by MOMA, New York for their permanent collection.
In excellent condition with no damage.

A pair of rare wall lights from the Metallux range of lighting designed in the 1950s by John & Sylvia Reid for Rotaflex, UK. I have never seen any of these wall lights for sale before.
Price is for the pair together.
Perforated copper shades with white metal wall fixings. inside the shades is the original liner that diffuses the light-source giving off the most beautiful light.
The copper has quite bit of ageing and patina but in my view this has mellowed nicely. Importantly the liner inside is pretty much all present (it often deteriorates). The liner has taken on some green staining from the copper oxidising inside but this doesn’t show through from the outside of the lamp. The wall fixing has quite a bit of paint loss and some rust although again not noticeable when the light is hung.
The lights could be hardwired into the wall or a cable with an inline switch run down to a plug. I can rewire them to your requirements.
