This photograph showcases a collection of Roanoid bakelite electric light fittings from the 1930s, a testament to the modern and innovative design trends of the era. The sleek, shiny bakelite material, a type of plastic, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to these light fittings. The round, spherical shapes of the bowls and lamps evoke a sense of whimsy and playfulness, while the gold accents add a touch of glamour and luxury. Bakelite, an early synthetic plastic, was first introduced in the late 1920s and quickly gained popularity due to its durability, heat resistance, and ability to be molded into various shapes. Its use in home furnishings and fittings, such as these Roanoid light fittings, became a hallmark of the Art Deco style that dominated the 1930s. The smooth, white surface of the bakelite reflects the light from the bulbs, creating a warm and inviting glow. The light fittings in this photograph are arranged on a table or shelf, suggesting that they may have been displayed in a home setting as decorative pieces, rather than purely functional items. The image captures the essence of the 1930s, a time of innovation, design, and progress, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of vintage design. These Roanoid bakelite electric light fittings are not only a reflection of the technological advancements of the time, but also a symbol of the artistic creativity and aesthetic sensibilities that shaped the modern home. Their timeless design continues to inspire and influence contemporary furniture and lighting designs, making them a cherished piece of design history.
