After, Kevin Gray graduated from Parson School of Design, Paris France,  set up a Design Studio in Paris and designed Lamps and furniture. In 1982, Kevin created the Zandt lamp in 3 sizes, Desk, Floor Reading, and Floor Torchère. The Zandt Lamp was named after his Dutch Grandfather, Emilio Van Zandt. The Zandt Desk Lamp N˚1 and the Zandt reading lamp N˚2 are now available in limited edition of forty pieces, signed and number.  Zandt floor Torchère is currently in the prototype stage.

Kevin continued working in Paris, Hamburg, and Milano through the mid-’90s, designing lighting, furniture, and custom interiors for his clientele in Europe and the United States.

From our Research and Design Studio we witnessed the ZANDT LAMP come to fruition. Below you can see how the lamp’s shade rotates so that you can have a dynamic choice of angles to shine or bounce the light.

ZANDT LAMP | VINTAGE COLLECTIBLES

A few years ago, ⁣while antique shopping in Miami, Kevin came across one of his Zandt reading lamp at MODERN EPIC ANTIQUES, and was surprised the price tag was four times the original price it sold for in the 1980s and purchased. Recently, Dan’s Den, Los Angeles, sold the same reading Lamp for $1,200.
