Width: 39.8 inches (101 cm)
Depth: 13 inches (33 cm)
This chandelier is delivered fully wired for your country (EU, US, etc.), and is compatible with LED bulbs.
Founded in Paris in the mid-20th century, Arlus became synonymous with exquisite lighting design and craftsmanship during the French mid-century modern period. The company, active primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s, is particularly renowned for its exceptional chandeliers, sconces, and pendant lights. Arlus was recognized for producing sophisticated, high-quality lighting fixtures that combined both innovative and timeless designs, making a significant mark in the history of French decorative arts.
The designs of Arlus were often characterized by their elegant yet bold forms, frequently utilizing luxurious materials such as brass, copper, and glass. Many of their pieces incorporated sleek, minimalist lines that reflected the spirit of the mid-century modern movement. The company’s lighting fixtures were also known for their technical precision and attention to detail, which gave them a timeless appeal.
Arlus collaborated with renowned designers of the era, producing pieces in line with the avant-garde aesthetics of the time, similar in style to contemporaries such as Lunel and Stilnovo. Arlus lighting fixtures were often created in small, limited series, ensuring exclusivity and high quality.
Over time, Arlus fixtures became highly sought-after due to their sophisticated designs and durable craftsmanship. The brand’s signature combination of refined materials, geometric shapes, and artistic sensibilities made it a favorite among collectors, interior designers, and art enthusiasts alike.
Today, Arlus fixtures continue to be highly regarded by vintage lighting enthusiasts and collectors for their elegance and distinctive French artistry, representing an iconic chapter in the story of mid-century French design.
