Designed by Charlotte Perriand
Designed by Charlotte Perriand for her mountain chalet Le Vieux Matelot, Applique Cylindrique is a design that dates back to the early 1930s. Her interest in pivoting screens reflects her observation on human gestures: a simple touch allows to direct the lampshade and to control the light beam, making it possible to adjust intensity and direction.

The shade also is unique […]

Inspired by the Japanese pine tree in the ground, the BrichetZiegler studio carved this lighting object with mastery and precision. Niwaki is an artificial plant.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican ‘Toba volcanica’ stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement. The contrast between porous textures […]
