RARE RE-ISSUE OF THE “EVOLUON” FLOOR LAMP BY LOUIS KALFF FOR PHILIPS – 1960s
Futuristic Design Inspired by a Landmark of Innovation
A beautiful re-issue of the mid-century “Evoluon” floor lamp, originally designed by Louis Kalff for Philips in the early 1960s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the Space Age design language of the era, with its distinctive Z-shaped silhouette and perforated aluminum UFO-style shade, finished in elegant enamel.
The lamp’s form pays homage to the Evoluon building—the iconic Philips science museum in Eindhoven, celebrated for its futuristic architecture and unmistakable flying saucer shape. Kalff, a creative force behind Philips' aesthetic direction for over four decades, was instrumental in the design of both the lamp and the building.
This piece is a rare and refined example of mid-century European design. A stunning floor lamp that adds space-age sophistication to any interior.
In outstanding condition, with only a small scratch on the base.
