During the 1950s and 1960s, Hala stood alongside manufacturers such as Philips and ANVIA as an important name in Dutch lighting design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe Model 751 reflects the functional clarity and restrained industrial character associated with Dutch lighting design of the period.
