Bulb Rack
Philips Laboratory, Eindhoven,
The Netherlands
1958
At Philips headquarters in the Netherlands, Broomfield produced images devoid of the darkness and grit evident in his record of British factories. This was replaced by the high-tech feel of the progressive Dutch electronics company. Founded in 1891, they initially produced light bulbs. By the 1950s, their products ranged from electric shavers and televisions to precision scientific glassware.
