Founded in the 1920s, the Sistrah brand quickly specialized in innovative lighting technology. Their breakthrough came with lamps that perfectly combined glare-free light with maximum luminosity.
The pendant lamp we offer, designed by German designer Otto Müller in the 1930s and also known internationally as “Megaphos,” is a true highlight of its time. The name “Sistrah” is derived from the advertising slogan “Sie strahlt heller” (It shines brighter) – a promise this lamp undoubtedly fulfills.
The Sistrah P4 pendant light is a prime example of functional design that reflects the spirit influenced by the Bauhaus movement. Its yellow glass creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room. The short pendant makes it ideal for spaces with lower ceilings, and the adjustable pendant mechanism allows for precise height adjustment.
A key technical feature of Sistrah lights is the clear, stepped lower glass, fitted with matte rings. These rings provide glare-free light diffusion while generating high light intensity downward. These features make the Sistrah P4 particularly well-suited for lighting dining and kitchen tables, where functional and pleasant lighting is essential.
