About the Item

Exceptional, unique and articulated French Table Lamp designed by Jean-Pierre Vitrac for Verre Lumière Edition. "Verre Lumière" is a French company created in 1968 by the master glass maker Max Ingrand (former artistic director of Fontana Arte from 1954-1967), the company Mazda (affiliate of Thomson) and the company Saint-Gobain (known for its long expertise in glass making). Ben Swildens, a designer who was already well-known for his « egg lamp », edited by Fontana Arte, was named artistic director of the new company. The commercial direction of Verre Lumière was entrusted to Jacques Vidal, who would play a key role in this new venture, and with whom Max Ingrand collaborated with 15 years prior during the construction of the ocean liner “France”. That project, a symbol of French luxury, was surely a forerunner of the birth of Verre Lumière, which would unite the French artisanal know-how with the modernity of its designers, thus representing the essence of French creation which would spread throughout the world until the 1980s. The mission of the company was the creation and fabrication of contemporary lighting, often made to measure. As a result of his training, Max Ingrand favoured the use of glass in his designs, for example his famous lamp in opaline glass (model 1853) created in 1954, initially edited by Fontana Arte then distributed by Verre Lumière. The technical specificity of opaline glass confers a soft and homogenous diffusion of light and would become one of Verre Lumière’s signature materials, often associated with stainless steel, aluminum and brass. One of the objectives of Verre Lumière was to conceive spectacular lighting projects, by close collaboration with architects, which were adapted and unique to each specific space, and created in a unified vision of architecture and light. The company would collaborate with all of the big names in architecture of the period through prestigious projects such as (in France): This fixture is equipped with four light sockets (E14).A professional electrician has checked and prepared the Lamp to operate in US, UK and EU. Our main target is customer satisfaction, so we include in the price for this item professional and custom made wood packing.
