Wall Lamp in Curved Teak Plywood by Louis Kalff for Philips, 1959

An elegant mid‑century wall light designed by Louis Kalff for Philips in 1959, model NX 41 E/00. This refined design combines teak‑veneered bent plywood with a conical opaline glass shade, creating a sculptural interplay of warm wood and diffused light. The lamp’s minimalist geometry and upward‑angled silhouette embody Kalff’s signature Space Age functionalism, while its materials reflect the craftsmanship of Dutch modern design. When lit, the opal glass produces a soft, ambient glow that enhances any interior with understated sophistication. Literature: Catalogue Technical Union Guide,  1960,  p. 172.
