Pingouin Table Lamp, Verre Lumière, 1970

About the Item

A very rare Studio table lamp by Verre Lumiere circa 1970 constructed of hand forged stainless steel. French studio Verre Lumiere. Founded in 1968 by Max Ingrand, a French master glass worker and decorator, Verre Lumiere was in fact a partnership between French glass company Saint Gobain and the lighting firm Mazda and spanned over only 20 years. With just forty craftsmen everything was devised in house – and it shows in their simple hand forged beauty. Apart from distinguishing themselves through public and commercial commissions, including Pierre Paulin‘s Élysée lamps, designed in 1972 for George Pompidou’s private apartment in the Palais de l’Élysée in Paris. The material of choice for these edited collections was stainless steel, chrome, and nickel also opaline glass with most series consisting of just a ten or twenty pieces. ’Respected for its utmost quality and integration of light into any environment, the lights needed no branding – the functional design style alone is the recognition. Legend has it that over lunch designers would sketch prototypes on napkins, by the end of the day they were made up and ready.
