About the Item

This iconic “Z” model table lamp was designed by Louis Kalff in the 1950s and produced by Philips (bearing the original Philips stamp on the underside of the shade, see photo). Its elegant silhouette, named after the distinctive angular form of its base, features a structure in solid brass and a circular black lacquered metal shade. A masterful blend of clean geometry and refined materials, it exemplifies the designer's signature modernist aesthetic. A true classic of mid-century design, this lamp is both functional and sculptural, ideal for a desk, sideboard, or entryway console. Its timeless appeal makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of interiors, from minimalist to eclectic. In very good vintage condition and fully functional, it comes ready to use with an E27 bulb (included) A rare and collectible piece of 20th-century lighting design.
