Lampe Fluorescente Philips, circa 1940, by Orsi
This circa 1940 poster by Orsi promotes Philips' fluorescent lamps with a striking and minimalist design. The composition features a sleek, elongated fluorescent tube positioned vertically against a dark background, emitting a cool, white light that creates a stark contrast. The simplicity of the image emphasizes the modernity and efficiency of the product. The Philips logo and the text "Lampe Fluorescente" are displayed prominently at the top, rendered in clean, sans-serif typography that complements the overall aesthetic.
During the 1940s, fluorescent lighting represented a significant advancement in electrical engineering, offering greater energy efficiency and longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Philips, as a leading manufacturer of lighting products, capitalized on this innovation to cater to both industrial and domestic markets.
While specific biographical information about the artist Orsi is unfortunately limited, his work on this poster demonstrates a keen understanding of contemporary design principles. The use of bold imagery and typography suggests an alignment with the Modernist movement, which emphasized function, simplicity, and the integration of art into everyday life.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
