With an impressive projection of 82 cm and its striking, large metal shade (ø 29 cm), this model is one of the rare xl versions often referred to in the international design market as a "fishing rod."

what makes this particular example special is its specific architectural configuration, which perfectly embodies philips' modular design concept: the robust, wide-reaching frame corresponds to the well-known nx 23 model, while the generous reflector is identical to that of the nwd 20 model. In this purist design—a matte black shade without perforations combined with a contrasting white wall bracket—a timeless "black and white" design of high graphic quality is created.
