About the Item

Made in France. Available in different colored metal options. Custom options are available on request. Please contact us. All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance. Of Michel Buffet’s work for the home, the lighting fixtures are particularly noteworthy. Their abstract geometric shapes, sober in their monochrome whiteness, have stood the test of time without going out of fashion. Sculptures when they are switched off, they illuminate by reflection in a play of light and shadow. Michel Buffet created the B206 wall lamp in 1953. His studies at ENSAD plunged him into the heart of the influential milieu of interior designers of the Reconstruction period, such as Marcel Gascoin, and he came into contact with the first generation of French interior designers who were just ahead of him, such as André Monpoix and Pierre Guariche, with whom he became friends. In the effervescent early years of the Trente Glorieuses, he began designing interiors as soon as he left school, creating furniture and lighting, which he exhibited at the Artistes Décorateurs and Arts ménagers shows in 1953 and 1954, and at the Milan Triennale in 1954. Among his lighting designs, the B211 floor lamp, published by Robert Mathieu, has become an emblem of his creations. It is part of the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. After studying engineering, Pierre Disderot opened his first studio in 1948. His collaboration with the young avant-garde designers, Pierre Guariche, JosephAndré Motte, Alain Richard, and Michel Mortier, led him to create what is today considered to be the best lighting of the nineteen fifties. His aesthetic abilities and knowledge allowed him to design an important part of the Disderot catalog, revealing, beyond the publisher, an artist of the first-order.
