Jacques Biny, Large Diabolo Reflector Lamp, France 1950
About the Item
Jacques Biny for Luminalite, extremely rare desk lamp in gilded tubular metal, perforated diabolo reflector, pale yellow and white lacquer. The base is made of a single curved tube and joined at the top by a plate. The double ball joint allows orientation and pivoting of the reflector.
On his return to Paris in 1950, Jacques Biny designed very avant-garde lights. First published by Omnialux, then by Kobis and Lorence, he created his own publishing house in 1953: Luminalite. He will meet with success during the 60s but most of these first creations had a very limited distribution.
An archive photo shows this lamp in a version with a paper diabolo reflector, the luminaire that I propose to you was not known in this version until now.
