The demand for this design classic is many times greater than the supply of remaining qualitative lamps of this model.
The lamp has a beautiful brass tripod base and a soft vintage green color mushroom-shaped shade with an opening in the middle. White color on the inside. This model is one of the best known UFO-shaped models from Kalff, together with the Minou model. This “Bijou” model has a conical center piece, where the Minou 69 model has a straight rod-shaped centerpiece. The two models are often mentioned in the same breath.
The lamp has a E27 fitting. Usually a ‘bowl light bulb’ with grey top is used. These are lamps with an opaque finish on the top of the lamp which is shaped like a bowl and is typically silver in color. By using this lamp, the light is diffused by redirecting the emitted light back into the fixture.
