Monumental Louis Kalff Pendant: Perforated Enamel & Etched Glass, 1955

On request

Item Description

A masterclass in filtered light. This very large Louis Kalff pendant juxtaposes a solid architectural form with atmospheric detailing. The defining feature is the central concave dish, finished in a deep black enamel and pierced with a field of precise perforations that create a secondary, dappled light pattern below. Above, a substantial hand-etched glass shade provides the primary, diffused illumination. Engineered with three-light sockets, this impressive fixture is designed to illuminate a sizable room with both strength and subtlety. A rare opportunity to acquire a defining piece of Dutch modernist lighting in an extraordinary, room-dominating scale. Marked with a Phillips label on the inside.
