‘Once I first moved into the Glass Home, there was no gentle apart from the solar,’ wrote Philip Johnson about his 1949-designed architectural masterpiece in New Canaan, Connecticut. ‘You’ll be able to think about the issue with reflections. Should you had one bulb, you noticed six.’
Johnson tasked lighting designer Richard Kelly with devising an atmospheric lighting resolution that may sit and match completely into his architectural masterpiece, and the Johnson/Kelly flooring gentle was born in 1953.

When design duo Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows of BassamFellows moved into one other Johnson-designed gem the previous residence of Richard and Geraldine Hodgson in New Canaan, they have been impressed to revive the design, which displays gentle from the bulb upwards right into a coned high, then down and out, spreading a tender glow.

Coming to market this autumn, the satin stainless-steel flooring lamp achieves a stability of character and anonymity – ‘a small piece of structure’ as BassamFellows eloquently put it. ‘Its impact is subtly theatrical, a part of an ensemble that shapes the ambiance of a room with out dominating it.’
The Johnson/Kelly Flooring Lamp is manufactured by BassamFellows beneath license and authorisation from The Glass Home, The Nationwide Belief for Historic Preservation, and the Property of Richard Kelly.
