When Philip Johnson collaborated with Richard Kelly to create a light for the Glass House in the 1950s, the resulting design became a significant part of some of the century’s most notable private interiors. It was a revolutionary approach to lighting a room, within a radical new form of architecture. The lamp had a purity of form and function that made it fit harmoniously within these new spaces. It also conjured a soft, sensual mood. We are proud to reissue this iconic floor lamp, our first reissue of a historic design, which has been out of production since 1967.
The Philip Johnson and Richard Kelly Floor Lamp is an original and authentic design manufactured by BassamFellows under license and authorization from The Glass House, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Estate of Richard Kelly.
