LAMPE DE DÉTENTE

 

Leave the Light On

A simple, familiar chair, welcoming and reassuring. It welcomes and illuminates. This explicit, signal-like object catches the eye and tells us that here, objects are no longer what they used to be.

 

Every element of this piece—the wood of the chair, the lamp integrated into its frame, and the white fabric cable—is secondhand. Found broken and abandoned on the streets of Paris, the chair and lamp have been reinvented together to form a harmonious whole.
