Billy BL Floor Light

Ilse Crawford

Billy BL Ilse Crawford Edition was re-created by London-based designer Ilse Crawford for Kalmar Werkstätten.

Crawford brings a sense of sophistication, humility and warmth to the floor lamp’s utilitarian design. In this variation, the original unstained oak and coloured lacquer are replaced with a refined rosewood stem anchored by satin-brass feet. The lampshade showcases a duotone finish, pairing a matte black exterior with a satin brass interior to create a soft, ambient glow.
