The story
This beautiful desk lamp, model Z or Decora, was designed by Louis Kalff in the 1950s and edited by Philips. It is made of solid brass, with in black lacquered metal lampshade. This lamp is an iconic creation of the designer but also a classic timeless twentieth-century design, mixing elegance and modernity. It would make a perfect addition to both a contemporary or mid-century desk. Fully cleaned and restored, newly electrified, and in great vintage condition.
About Louis Kalff
Dutch designer Louis Kalff (1897-1976) spent his career at Philips in Eindhoven, where he shaped the company's visual identity, including its logo, and directed the design of radios, lamps and advertising. His lighting of the 1950s, in brass, lacquered metal and glass, balances modernist restraint with elegant, sometimes playful forms. Collectors look for his Philips floor and table lamps and pendants from that decade with original shades and finishes.
