Nemo Wall light Le Corbusier - Black - Aluminium - Designer Le Corbusier

Nemo Wall light Black Metal. Dimensions: H 27 cm - Depth 19.6 cm - Upper cone: Ø 9.6 cm / lower cone: Ø 12 cm. The mini-version of the iconic Marseille Wall Lamp. A genius architect and designer, Le Corbusier created the "Cité Radieuse" in Marseille, a residence built between 1945 and 1952. From its conception, this experimental building tried to materialise a new form of city: a vertical village called a Housing Unit. The Cité Radieuse is today classified as a historical monument. Le Corbusier even designed the lights in the apartments of his "city". In 1954, he created the Marseille wall light which he had installed in the model apartments to optimise the lighting. Reissued by Nemo, this metal wall light is a symbol of 1950s modernism. Inspired by the industrial lighting of the time, this wall light has a lampshade made up of two symmetrical cones, providing two types of lighting (direct and indirect).
