Modern Dutch Star Suspension Mid-Century by J.J.M. Hoogervorst for Anvia, 1960s

Rare pendant lamp by Anvia designed by the Dutch designer J.J.M. Hoogervorst in the 1960s. The lamp impresses with its clean geometry. The base shape consists of two rectangular bodies rotated 45 degrees. The bodies are divided into slats, differentiated in this version by copper and white. Light passes through or is reflected between the protruding slats. Despite its simple shape, this creates a complex interaction of light. At the same time, the slats protect the light source and prevent direct glare. The shape and colour scheme are effective whether the lamp is on or off. The lamp is in very good condition with signs of use and patina.
