C. Perriand – PIVOTANTE À POSER

table lamp

Table lamp with a cylindrical body, open on two sides, on which two diffusers rotate and allow the opening and closure of the lighting beam, in order to adjust the light in a direct or indirect way. Base in steel painted in matt grey, body in rolled metal sheet painted in white, yellow or blue. Switch on cable. To Charlotte Perriand, lamps were not a decorative element added for no reason, but a functional and technical component, a tool and an object answering to specific needs. Perriand’s minimalistic approach instills a timeless character in her creations: these are the “Useful Forms” that came from the movement she co-founded in 1949. Like Perriand’s furniture, her lamps are not immovable, but rotate and bend themselves, adjusting to our needs.
