Large Louis Kalff 'Starry Sky' Pendant

About the Item

Very large pendant with etched glass shade. The central black enameled concave dish is perforated, hence "Starry Sky". Equipped with three-light sockets, this lamp is capable of lighting a sizable room. Working in the same era as Gino Sarfatti, Gio Ponti and Angelo Lelli, Louis Kalff's designs capture that mid century modern feeling with a slightly more Northern European sobriety. Marked with a Phillips label on the inside.

    Large pendant by Italian designer Matteo Thun for Zumtobel lightning. The spherical pendant luminaires provide an ideal lighting effect due to their partly transparent luminaire unit with reflective chrome coating and opal glass globe inside. Besides directly emitted light, light is reflected inside the luminaire unit, making it seem to float. Light defines the emotional impact of a room.
