Designed by Le Corbusier
In 1952, on the shores of the French Riviera, Le Corbusier built ‘Cabanon’: the absolute archetype of essential living. The project, executed according to the rules of the Modulor, is found just a stone?s throw away from the sea and served as a refuge for the architect in his final years. Lampe Cabanon, named after the inspired microcosm, represents a symbol of architecture, design, production, and essential living. The lampshade, made from tracing paper that the architect used, was crafted from a wartime artifact ? a mortar shell carrier ? found on French beaches. The lamp, for which numerous sketches and designs exist, represents a moment of rebirth in the post-war world.

The unostentatious and basic form accentuates and explores the elegance and balance between two handcrafted materials with their smooth finish. The tubular shape with its edged terrace combines two honest materials that give a slight flavor of the 1950´s.

The table lamp (Biny Table n?231) by Jacques BINY is almost an alien in the lunar world in the luminary world. Some appear like a robot, others as cartoon characters, and still others a radically effective minimalist object. Created in 1958, lights are still very modern. For good reading light, Biny designed it with fins […]

Lesbo designed in 1967 represents one of the symbols of the made in Italy design of the 7s, characterized by its particular mushroom shape. The hand-blown diffuser creates fascinating interactions with light. The frosted white colour conceals the light source and guides the light beam upwards, creating a soft and atmospheric light that highlights the […]
